Rolling Hills, WY
How exposed is Rolling Hills to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rolling Hills at the 86th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 255 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rolling Hills at the 85th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rolling Hills's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Rolling Hills's 255 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Rolling Hills ranks
There's little gap between Rolling Hills's 86th national percentile and its 75th percentile inside Wyoming, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 49 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rolling Hills
Rolling Hills's 86th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Rolling Hills's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Rolling Hills's 86th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Rolling Hills, see the exposure-zones guide.
