Wopsononock, PA
Wopsononock, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Wopsononock lands at the 62nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 52 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wopsononock at the 59th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Wopsononock's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Wopsononock's 52 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 52 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.

What would actually reduce this score
