Shiloh, PA
How exposed is Shiloh to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Shiloh at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 4,080 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Shiloh's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.
Where Shiloh's buildings actually sit
Only 28.7% of Shiloh's 4,080 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 71.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Shiloh ranks
Shiloh scores 4th nationally and 1st within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Shiloh ranks 30,432 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,161 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,970 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shiloh and the insurance market
Shiloh's low rating (4th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Shiloh
Even with 71.3% of Shiloh outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
