Seven Valleys, PA
Seven Valleys, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Seven Valleys at the 10th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 279 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Seven Valleys's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
Where Seven Valleys's buildings actually sit
279 buildings are counted in Seven Valleys, and 56.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 43.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Seven Valleys against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Seven Valleys's 10th national percentile and its 8th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Seven Valleys ranks 28,475 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,238 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,836 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Seven Valleys and the insurance market
Seven Valleys's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Seven Valleys's 56.3% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
