Spring Grove, PA
How exposed is Spring Grove to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Spring Grove lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 814 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Spring Grove's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Spring Grove's buildings (84.4% of 814) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Spring Grove against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Spring Grove's 5th national percentile and its 2nd 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 Grove ranks 30,020 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,514 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,947 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Spring Grove
Spring Grove's low rating (5th 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 Spring Grove
With 84.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Spring Grove gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Spring Grove's 5th-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 Grove, see the exposure-zones guide.
