Wall, PA
Wall, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Wall's 355 buildings earn a 27th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wall at the 27th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Wall's buildings actually sit
Most of Wall's buildings (80%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Wall compares
Wall's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (33rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (27th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wall ranks 22,927 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,201 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,334 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Wall's moderate rating (27th 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Wall (80% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
