Trexlertown, PA
Trexlertown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Trexlertown's 558 buildings earn a 11th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Trexlertown at the 12th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Trexlertown's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Trexlertown's buildings (83.3% of 558) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Trexlertown ranks
There's little gap between Trexlertown's 11th national percentile and its 9th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trexlertown ranks 28,223 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,444 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,822 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Trexlertown and the insurance market
Trexlertown's low wildfire rating (11th 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.
Hardening a home in Trexlertown
Even with 83.3% of Trexlertown outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Trexlertown's 11th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Trexlertown, see the exposure-zones guide.
