Virginville, PA
How exposed is Virginville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Virginville lands at the 37th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 249 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Virginville at the 36th percentile, close to its 37th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
60.2% of Virginville's 249 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 150 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 39.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
