Sunbrook, PA
Sunbrook, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Sunbrook at the 31st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 200 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sunbrook at the 31st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Sunbrook's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Sunbrook (74.5% of 200 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 25.5% sit in the Direct zone.
Sunbrook against the rest of the country
Sunbrook scores 31st nationally and 40th 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, Sunbrook ranks 21,822 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,863 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,198 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 31st national percentile, Sunbrook rates moderate 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 Sunbrook
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Sunbrook (74.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Sunbrook's figures come from
Sunbrook's 31st-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 Sunbrook's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
