Data confidence
Confidence reflects source authority, how many public metrics exist, and how statistically reliable the outcome data is — not whether this county reports like any other.
- Population (U.S. Census) and civilian fire deaths (Pennsylvania Department of Health, Pennsylvania Vital Statistics) are both from authoritative public sources.
- No county-published incident/response figure was found in public sources.
- A moderate five-year fire-death count (9) supports a reasonably stable rate.

9 civilian fire deaths over five years. Annual counts are small, so a single event can shift a year materially — this is reflected in Data Confidence.
