Anna, OH
Anna wildfire risk explained
Anna sits at the 1st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 743 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Anna's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Anna rates 88.6% Minimal exposure against just 11.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 743 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Anna ranks
There's little gap between Anna's 1st national percentile and its 9th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Anna ranks 31,085 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,199 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,151 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Anna and the insurance market
Anna's low wildfire rating (1st 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 88.6% of Anna outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
