Schubert, PA
Schubert wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Schubert at the 56th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 181 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Schubert's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 53rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Schubert: 92.8% of its 181 buildings, versus 7.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Schubert ranks
Schubert's 92nd-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 56th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Schubert ranks 13,943 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,596 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 164 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Schubert
At the 56th national percentile, Schubert rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Schubert
Schubert's 92.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Schubert's 56th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Schubert, see the exposure-zones guide.
