Rose Hill, NC
How exposed is Rose Hill to wildfire?
Rose Hill sits at the 66th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 884 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rose Hill at the 65th percentile, close to its 66th-percentile risk score.
Where Rose Hill's buildings actually sit
884 buildings are counted in Rose Hill, and 52% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Rose Hill ranks
There's little gap between Rose Hill's 66th national percentile and its 66th percentile inside North Carolina, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rose Hill ranks 10,724 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,871 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 263 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rose Hill
Rose Hill's high rating (66th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Rose Hill's 52% 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
Rose Hill's 66th-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 Rose Hill, see the exposure-zones guide.
