Rose Lodge wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Rose Lodge at the 46th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,166 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (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 Lodge at the 45th percentile, close to its 46th-percentile risk score.
Rose Lodge's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 60.8% of Rose Lodge's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 39.2% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 709 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Rose Lodge ranks

What would actually reduce this score
