Greenfield Township, PA

Nymphs are questing, the highest-risk stage for people. Nymphal deer ticks peak in late spring and summer. They're the size of a poppy seed, easy to miss, and cause most Lyme transmission.

Greenfield Township is 95% natural land cover (79% forest, plus open and brushy areas) across its 36.09 sq mi, home to about 3,696 people. That makes it the 8th-most wooded of the 25 towns in Blair County. Deer ticks live in wooded areas, along trail edges, and in tall grass — the more of that a town has, the more places ticks can quest.

Blair County reports about 150 Lyme cases per 100,000 people a year, the 98th-highest of 210 Northeast counties. That county-level disease pressure, combined with Greenfield Township's local habitat, sets how high its daily score can climb when the weather and season allow.
