Rosalia, WA
Rosalia, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rosalia's 442 buildings earn a 56th-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, Rosalia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Rosalia's building exposure, zone by zone
Rosalia rates 88% Minimal exposure against just 12% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 442 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Rosalia ranks
Rosalia's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (65th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (56th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosalia ranks 14,011 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,428 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 221 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rosalia
Rosalia's elevated wildfire rating (56th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Rosalia's 88% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Rosalia's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rosalia's 14,011-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rosalia's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
