Timber Hills, PA
Timber Hills, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Timber Hills at the 29th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 179 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Timber Hills at the 26th percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Timber Hills: 100% of its 179 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Timber Hills against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Timber Hills's 29th national percentile and its 35th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Timber Hills ranks 22,487 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,687 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,290 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Timber Hills and the insurance market
At the 29th national percentile, Timber Hills rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Timber Hills (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
