Troxelville's building exposure, zone by zone

Where Troxelville ranks
Within Pennsylvania, Troxelville ranks higher (90th percentile) than it does nationally (54th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

What this risk score means for insurance
Troxelville's elevated rating (54th 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
Troxelville's 57.4% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
