Wesleyville, PA
Wesleyville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Wesleyville at the 24th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,734 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wesleyville at the 25th percentile, close to its 24th-percentile risk score.
Wesleyville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 97.6% of Wesleyville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 2.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Wesleyville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Wesleyville's 24th national percentile and its 27th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wesleyville ranks 23,996 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,284 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,446 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wesleyville
At the 24th national percentile, Wesleyville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 97.6% of Wesleyville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Wesleyville's figures come from
Wesleyville's 24th-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 Wesleyville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
