Rosemont, PA
Rosemont, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rosemont's 741 buildings earn a 13th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rosemont's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 13th percentile nationally.
Rosemont's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Rosemont's buildings (60.3% of 741) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Rosemont ranks
There's little gap between Rosemont's 13th national percentile and its 11th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosemont ranks 27,559 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,215 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,771 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Rosemont and the insurance market
Rosemont's low wildfire rating (13th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Rosemont's 60.3% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
