Warren, PA
Warren, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Warren at the 20th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 5,149 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Warren at the 20th percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
Where Warren's buildings actually sit
Most of Warren's buildings (87.2%) 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. At 5,149 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Warren ranks
There's little gap between Warren's 20th national percentile and its 22nd percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warren ranks 25,229 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,349 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,560 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Warren
Warren's low wildfire rating (20th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Warren (87.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Warren's figures come from
Warren's 20th-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 Warren's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
