Rosewood, OH
How exposed is Rosewood to wildfire?
Rosewood's 213 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rosewood at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 29.6% of Rosewood's 213 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 70.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Rosewood ranks
Within Ohio, Rosewood ranks higher (23rd percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosewood ranks 30,147 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,375 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 978 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rosewood
Rosewood's low wildfire rating (4th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Rosewood's 70.4% 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.
