Spring City, PA
Spring City, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Spring City at the 8th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 990 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Spring City at the 8th percentile, close to its 8th-percentile risk score.
Spring City's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 12.2% of Spring City's 990 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 87.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Spring City against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Spring City's 8th national percentile and its 5th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Spring City ranks 29,072 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,010 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,893 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Spring City
Spring City's low rating (8th 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
Even with 87.8% of Spring City 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.
More on how this number was built
Spring City's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Spring City, see the exposure-zones guide.
