Yeadon, PA
Yeadon, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Yeadon's 2,332 buildings earn a 16th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Yeadon at the 20th percentile, close to its 16th-percentile risk score.
Yeadon's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 2.5% of Yeadon's 2,332 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 97.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Yeadon compares
Yeadon scores 16th nationally and 17th 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, Yeadon ranks 26,356 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,642 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,659 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Yeadon
Yeadon's low wildfire rating (16th 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 Yeadon
Even with 97.5% of Yeadon 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.
Where Yeadon's figures come from
Yeadon's 16th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Yeadon's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
