Wurtemburg, PA
Wurtemburg wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Wurtemburg at the 31st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 451 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wurtemburg at the 31st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Wurtemburg's buildings actually sit
Most of Wurtemburg's buildings (53%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Wurtemburg against the rest of the country
Wurtemburg's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (40th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (31st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wurtemburg ranks 21,823 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,264 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,199 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
At the 31st national percentile, Wurtemburg rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Wurtemburg
Wurtemburg's 53% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
