Rose Hill (Lee) wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Rose Hill (Lee) at the 91st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 572 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rose Hill (Lee) at the 93rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Shopping for coverage in Rose Hill (Lee)
Rose Hill (Lee)'s 91st-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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Rose Hill (Lee) (58.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
