Rocky Point, WA
How exposed is Rocky Point to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rocky Point lands at the 8th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 800 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rocky Point's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 86.6% of Rocky Point's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 13.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Rocky Point compares
Rocky Point's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (7th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (8th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rocky Point ranks 29,139 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,639 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 586 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Rocky Point and the insurance market
Rocky Point's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rocky Point gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Rocky Point's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Rocky Point, see the exposure-zones guide.
