Rockville, CT
How exposed is Rockville to wildfire?
Rockville's 2,089 buildings earn a 22nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rockville at the 21st national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 17.4% of Rockville's 2,089 buildings carry Direct exposure and 40.5% carry Indirect; the remaining 42.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Rockville against the rest of the country
Rockville scores 22nd nationally and 15th within Connecticut — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rockville ranks 24,542 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,220 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 182 of 214 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Connecticut on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Rockville's moderate wildfire rating (22nd 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 Rockville
With 42.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rockville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Rockville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rockville's 24,542-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rockville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
