Twilight, PA
Twilight wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Twilight at the 35th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 197 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Twilight's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 36th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
79.7% of Twilight's 197 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 157 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 20.3% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Twilight compares
Twilight scores 35th nationally and 49th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Twilight ranks 20,592 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,977 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,021 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Twilight
At the 35th national percentile, Twilight rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Twilight's 79.7% 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.
