Uniontown, PA
Uniontown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Uniontown at the 25th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 4,327 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Uniontown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
Where Uniontown's buildings actually sit
Most of Uniontown's buildings (87.6% of 4,327) 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.
