Rosedale, IN
Rosedale wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rosedale lands at the 8th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 507 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rosedale at the 8th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rosedale's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 81.1% of Rosedale's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 18.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Rosedale compares
Rosedale's 49th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 8th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosedale ranks 28,963 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,222 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 493 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rosedale
Rosedale's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Rosedale
With 81.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rosedale gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
