Andersonville, OH

Andersonville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
31stpercentile nationally

Andersonville sits at the 31st 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 430 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Andersonville at the 34th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Andersonville against the rest of the country

Andersonville and the insurance market

Andersonville's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

What would actually reduce this score

Andersonville's 93.3% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
