Rose Hill, KS
Rose Hill, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rose Hill sits at the 91st 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 1,562 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rose Hill at the 88th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Rose Hill's buildings actually sit
Rose Hill rates 85.9% Minimal exposure against just 14.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,562 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Rose Hill compares
Rose Hill scores 91st nationally and 92nd within Kansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rose Hill ranks 2,706 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,915 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 60 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Rose Hill and the insurance market
At the 91st percentile nationally, Rose Hill 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 85.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rose Hill gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Rose Hill's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Rose Hill, see the exposure-zones guide.
