Roseville, PA
Roseville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Roseville at the 51st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 137 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Roseville at the 52nd percentile, close to its 51st-percentile risk score.
Where Roseville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 99.3% of Roseville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0.7% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 136 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Roseville against the rest of the country
Roseville's 84th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 51st 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, Roseville ranks 15,360 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,415 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 314 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Roseville and the insurance market
Roseville's elevated rating (51st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Roseville (99.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
