Wylandville, PA
Wylandville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Wylandville lands at the 38th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 305 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 Wylandville at the 40th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
Where Wylandville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 82% of Wylandville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 18% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 250 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
