Winfield, PA
How exposed is Winfield to wildfire?
Winfield's 623 buildings earn a 30th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Winfield at the 30th percentile, close to its 30th-percentile risk score.
Winfield's building exposure, zone by zone
75% of Winfield's 623 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 467 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 24.4% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0.6% are Minimal.
Winfield against the rest of the country
Winfield scores 30th nationally and 38th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Winfield ranks 22,171 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,522 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,245 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
Winfield's moderate wildfire rating (30th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 75% of Winfield in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
