Ramblewood, PA
Ramblewood, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Ramblewood at the 50th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 444 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ramblewood's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 49th percentile nationally.
Where Ramblewood's buildings actually sit
50.4% of Ramblewood's 444 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 49.6% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Ramblewood ranks
Within Pennsylvania, Ramblewood ranks higher (82nd percentile) than it does nationally (50th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 352 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ramblewood
Ramblewood's elevated wildfire rating (50th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Ramblewood's 50.4% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
