Robinson, PA
Robinson wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Robinson lands at the 48th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 386 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Robinson at the 47th percentile, close to its 48th-percentile risk score.
Robinson's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Robinson: 57.8% of its 386 buildings, versus 42.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Robinson against the rest of the country
Robinson's 78th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 48th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Robinson ranks 16,340 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,509 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 433 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
Robinson's elevated rating (48th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Robinson's 57.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
