Richboro, PA
Richboro, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Richboro lands at the 24th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 2,479 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Richboro's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 24th percentile nationally.
Richboro's building exposure, zone by zone
70.8% of Richboro's 2,479 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,756 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 28.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0.5% are Minimal.
Where Richboro ranks
Richboro's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (27th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (24th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Richboro ranks 24,061 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,342 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,453 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Richboro's moderate rating (24th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Richboro
Because Direct exposure dominates in Richboro (70.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Richboro's 24th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Richboro, see the exposure-zones guide.
