Rockledge, PA
How exposed is Rockledge to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rockledge lands at the 28th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 939 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rockledge at the 28th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rockledge's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 93.9% of Rockledge's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Rockledge compares
Rockledge's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (33rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (28th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rockledge ranks 22,832 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,405 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,326 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
Rockledge's moderate wildfire rating (28th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Rockledge
Rockledge's 93.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
