Roosevelt, WA
Roosevelt wildfire risk explained
Roosevelt sits at the 98th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 134 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roosevelt's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
Roosevelt's building exposure, zone by zone
134 buildings are counted in Roosevelt, and 73.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 25.4% in Direct exposure or the 0.8% rated Minimal.
How Roosevelt compares
Roosevelt's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (95th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (98th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roosevelt ranks 709 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,563 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 33 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 98th percentile nationally, Roosevelt carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Roosevelt
Because 73.9% of Roosevelt's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Roosevelt's 98th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Roosevelt, see the exposure-zones guide.
