Rockville, MO
Rockville, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Rockville at the 57th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 201 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rockville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
Rockville's building exposure, zone by zone
201 buildings are counted in Rockville, and 58.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 41.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Rockville against the rest of the country
Rockville scores 57th nationally and 49th within Missouri — 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 13,398 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,804 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 544 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Rockville and the insurance market
Rockville's elevated rating (57th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Rockville (58.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
