Ada, OH
Ada, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Ada at the 2nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 2,132 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ada at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Where Ada's buildings actually sit
Only 13.2% of Ada's 2,132 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 86.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Ada compares
Ada scores 2nd nationally and 11th within Ohio — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ada ranks 30,992 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,112 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,121 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ada
Ada's low wildfire rating (2nd 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 86.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Ada gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Ada's 2nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Ada, see the exposure-zones guide.
