Townville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Townville at the 35th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 235 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 Townville at the 36th percentile, close to its 35th-percentile risk score.
Townville's building exposure, zone by zone
235 buildings are counted in Townville, and 97.5% 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 Townville ranks
Townville scores 35th nationally and 49th 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, Townville ranks 20,591 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,646 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,020 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Townville and the insurance market
Townville's moderate rating (35th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Townville (97.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
