Rosslyn Farms, PA
Rosslyn Farms wildfire risk explained
Rosslyn Farms sits at the 27th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 275 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rosslyn Farms's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 28th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 37.8% of Rosslyn Farms's 275 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 62.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Rosslyn Farms ranks
Rosslyn Farms scores 27th nationally and 32nd 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, Rosslyn Farms ranks 23,053 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,372 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,353 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Rosslyn Farms's moderate wildfire rating (27th 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
With 62.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rosslyn Farms gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
