Tresckow, PA
Tresckow, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Tresckow lands at the 54th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 412 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tresckow's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 53rd percentile nationally.
Where Tresckow's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Tresckow (79.4% of 412 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 20.6% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Tresckow ranks
Compare Tresckow's two percentiles: 89th within Pennsylvania, only 54th nationally — a gap of 35 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tresckow ranks 14,637 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,994 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 228 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
Tresckow's elevated wildfire rating (54th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Tresckow (79.4% 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
Tresckow's 54th-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 Tresckow, see the exposure-zones guide.
