Trevorton, PA
How exposed is Trevorton to wildfire?
Trevorton's 1,134 buildings earn a 51st-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 Trevorton at the 50th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Trevorton's buildings (60.5%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Trevorton ranks
Within Pennsylvania, Trevorton ranks higher (85th percentile) than it does nationally (51st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trevorton ranks 15,333 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,053 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 309 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Trevorton and the insurance market
Trevorton's elevated rating (51st 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
Trevorton's 60.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
