Rodman, IA
Rodman wildfire risk explained
Rodman's 46 buildings earn a 31st-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rodman at the 28th percentile, close to its 31st-percentile risk score.
Rodman's building exposure, zone by zone
69.6% of Rodman's 46 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 30.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Rodman ranks
There's little gap between Rodman's 31st national percentile and its 46th percentile inside Iowa, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.
