Rohrerstown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rohrerstown's 251 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rohrerstown at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
91.2% of Rohrerstown's 251 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 8.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Rohrerstown compares
There's little gap between Rohrerstown's 4th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rohrerstown ranks 30,176 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,117 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,954 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 4th national percentile, Rohrerstown rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Rohrerstown
With 91.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rohrerstown gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
