Vinco, PA
How exposed is Vinco to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Vinco lands at the 38th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,007 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Vinco at the 38th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Vinco's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 90.5% of Vinco's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 9.5% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 911 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Hardening a home in Vinco
With 90.5% of Vinco in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Vinco's 38th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Vinco, see the exposure-zones guide.
