Eagle Rock, VA
Eagle Rock, VA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Eagle Rock lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 145 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 Eagle Rock at the 72nd percentile, close to its 73rd-percentile risk score.
Where Eagle Rock's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 50.3% of Eagle Rock's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 49.7% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 73 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Eagle Rock ranks
There's little gap between Eagle Rock's 73rd national percentile and its 87th percentile inside Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eagle Rock ranks 8,526 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,102 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 86 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Eagle Rock
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Eagle Rock carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Eagle Rock (50.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
