Roslyn, PA
How exposed is Roslyn to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Roslyn lands at the 14th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 3,228 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Roslyn at the 15th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Roslyn's buildings actually sit
Most of Roslyn's buildings (87.7% of 3,228) 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 Roslyn ranks
Roslyn scores 14th nationally and 13th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roslyn ranks 27,147 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,130 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,732 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Roslyn
Roslyn'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.
Hardening a home in Roslyn
With 87.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Roslyn gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Roslyn's figures come from
Roslyn's 14th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Roslyn's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
