Three Springs, PA
Three Springs, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Three Springs's 259 buildings earn a 55th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Three Springs at the 53rd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Three Springs's building exposure, zone by zone
259 buildings are counted in Three Springs, and 57.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Three Springs ranks

Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Three Springs ranks 14,321 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,868 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 195 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Three Springs
Three Springs's elevated rating (55th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Three Springs (57.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Three Springs's 55th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Three Springs, see the exposure-zones guide.
