Robertsdale, AL
Robertsdale, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Robertsdale sits at the 79th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,754 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Robertsdale at the 81st percentile, close to its 79th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
2,754 buildings are counted in Robertsdale, and 54.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Robertsdale against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Robertsdale's 79th national percentile and its 71st percentile inside Alabama, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Robertsdale ranks 6,763 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,841 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 175 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Robertsdale
Robertsdale's 79th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
