Robeson Extension, PA
Robeson Extension, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Robeson Extension lands at the 36th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 141 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Robeson Extension at the 35th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Robeson Extension's buildings actually sit
95% of Robeson Extension's 141 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

Robeson Extension and the insurance market
