Rockhill, PA
Rockhill wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Rockhill at the 52nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 275 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rockhill at the 51st national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Rockhill's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 84.7% of Rockhill's 275 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 15.3% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Rockhill against the rest of the country
Rockhill's 86th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 52nd 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, Rockhill ranks 15,106 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,371 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 278 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rockhill
At the 52nd national percentile, Rockhill rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 84.7% of Rockhill's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
