Warminster Heights, PA
How exposed is Warminster Heights to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Warminster Heights lands at the 13th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 600 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Warminster Heights's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
Where Warminster Heights's buildings actually sit
Only 15% of Warminster Heights's 600 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 85% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

What this risk score means for insurance
Warminster Heights's low rating (13th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Warminster Heights's 85% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Warminster Heights's figures come from
Warminster Heights's 13th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Warminster Heights's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
