Spry, PA
Spry, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Spry sits at the 7th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,110 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Spry at the 6th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Where Spry's buildings actually sit
61.6% of Spry's 2,110 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 38.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Spry ranks
Spry's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (4th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (7th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Spry ranks 29,484 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,167 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,920 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 7th national percentile, Spry rates low 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 Spry
Spry's 61.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Spry's figures come from
Spry's 7th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Spry's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
