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

Elevated
50thpercentile nationally

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

444Total buildings
49.6%Direct exposure
50.4%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

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.

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.
