Wyndmoor, PA
Wyndmoor wildfire risk explained
Wyndmoor's 2,098 buildings earn a 20th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wyndmoor at the 20th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Wyndmoor's buildings actually sit
Wyndmoor rates 57.6% Minimal exposure against just 42.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 2,098 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Wyndmoor against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Wyndmoor's 20th national percentile and its 21st percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wyndmoor ranks 25,284 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,198 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,566 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 20th national percentile, Wyndmoor rates low 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
Even with 57.6% of Wyndmoor outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Wyndmoor's 25,284-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Wyndmoor, see the exposure-zones guide.
