Woolrich, PA
Woolrich wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Woolrich lands at the 49th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 471 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woolrich at the 49th percentile, close to its 49th-percentile risk score.
Woolrich's building exposure, zone by zone
82.2% of Woolrich's 471 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 387 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 17.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
