Woodland, PA
How exposed is Woodland to wildfire?
Woodland sits at the 51st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 450 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodland at the 50th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
83.1% of Woodland's 450 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 374 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 16.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Woodland compares
Compare Woodland's two percentiles: 83rd within Pennsylvania, only 51st nationally — a gap of 32 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland ranks 15,580 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,281 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 344 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodland
At the 51st national percentile, Woodland rates elevated 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
With 83.1% of Woodland 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.
More on how this number was built
Woodland's 51st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Woodland, see the exposure-zones guide.
