Roseville, IA
Roseville, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Roseville's 90 buildings earn a 14th-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, Roseville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 13th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Roseville rates 54.4% Minimal exposure against just 45.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 90 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Roseville compares
Roseville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Iowa (24th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roseville ranks 27,194 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,491 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 778 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
Roseville and the insurance market
Roseville's low rating (14th 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
Even with 54.4% of Roseville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
