Rohrsburg, PA
Rohrsburg, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rohrsburg at the 49th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 121 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rohrsburg at the 50th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
121 buildings are counted in Rohrsburg, and 52.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 47.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.

Rohrsburg and the insurance market
At the 49th national percentile, Rohrsburg rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Rohrsburg's 52.1% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
