Yeagertown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Separately from the risk score above, Yeagertown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 44th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Yeagertown's buildings (80.5%) 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.

Shopping for coverage in Yeagertown
Yeagertown's elevated wildfire rating (46th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Yeagertown (80.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
