Robesonia, PA
How exposed is Robesonia to wildfire?
USFS scores Robesonia at the 21st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 849 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Robesonia at the 19th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Robesonia's buildings actually sit
849 buildings are counted in Robesonia, and 74.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 25.1% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Robesonia against the rest of the country

Robesonia and the insurance market
Robesonia's moderate rating (21st 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 Robesonia
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Robesonia (74.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Robesonia's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Robesonia's 24,880-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Robesonia's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
