Rosedale, WA
Rosedale, WA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rosedale at the 16th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,754 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rosedale at the 16th 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
Direct exposure dominates in Rosedale: 67.8% of its 1,754 buildings, versus 26.7% Indirect and 5.5% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Rosedale compares
Rosedale's risk sits at a similar level relative to Washington (22nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (16th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosedale ranks 26,492 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,209 by building count (1 is largest). Within Washington alone, it ranks 492 of 628 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Washington on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 16th national percentile, Rosedale rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Rosedale
