Rossville, MD
How exposed is Rossville to wildfire?
Rossville sits at the 21st 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 2,762 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rossville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Where Rossville's buildings actually sit
Rossville rates 70.1% Minimal exposure against just 29.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 2,762 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Rossville against the rest of the country
Rossville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Maryland (29th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (21st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rossville ranks 24,774 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,834 by building count (1 is largest). Within Maryland alone, it ranks 375 of 527 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Maryland on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rossville
Rossville's moderate rating (21st 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 Rossville
With 70.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rossville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Rossville's figures come from
Rossville's 21st-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 Rossville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
