Wynnewood, PA
Wynnewood, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Wynnewood at the 17th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 762 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wynnewood at the 19th percentile, close to its 17th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 67.9% of Wynnewood's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 32.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Wynnewood against the rest of the country
Wynnewood scores 17th nationally and 18th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wynnewood ranks 26,080 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,000 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,633 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Wynnewood and the insurance market
Wynnewood's low wildfire rating (17th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Wynnewood
Wynnewood's 67.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
