Tremont, PA
Tremont wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Tremont at the 62nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 578 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tremont's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 59th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
578 buildings are counted in Tremont, and 74.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 25.8% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Tremont against the rest of the country
Compare Tremont's two percentiles: 97th within Pennsylvania, only 62nd nationally — a gap of 36 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tremont ranks 12,111 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,136 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 58 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tremont
Tremont's high rating (62nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Tremont (74.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Tremont's 62nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Tremont, see the exposure-zones guide.
