Rogersville, PA
How exposed is Rogersville to wildfire?
Rogersville's 178 buildings earn a 40th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rogersville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 42nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Rogersville's buildings (69.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Rogersville ranks

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 719 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Rogersville and the insurance market
