The main exposure route is people getting rabies from their dog. The dog is bitten by a rabid animal (especially if it's a guardian dog for livestock) and then one or more family members get it from the dog.

So - much more important to get the dog vaccinated.

A lot of the people I hear about who get exposed to rabies in the US is because they are ignorant. I've seen and heard of many people picking up baby animals, like raccoons and later being required to have post-exposure prophylaxis treatment.
