Rosebud, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rosebud's 910 buildings earn a 54th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rosebud at the 54th percentile, close to its 54th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 76.6% of Rosebud's 910 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 13% Direct and 10.4% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Rosebud compares
Rosebud's 54th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 9th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 45 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosebud ranks 14,450 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,644 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,628 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rosebud
Rosebud's elevated rating (54th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Rosebud (76.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Rosebud's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Rosebud, see the exposure-zones guide.
