Antioch, OH
Antioch wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Antioch at the 42nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 74 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Antioch's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
Antioch's building exposure, zone by zone
74 buildings are counted in Antioch, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Antioch ranks
Within Ohio, Antioch ranks higher (94th percentile) than it does nationally (42nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Antioch ranks 18,158 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,146 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 80 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 42nd national percentile, Antioch rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Antioch's 100% 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.
Where Antioch's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Antioch's 18,158-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Antioch's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
