Ashville, OH
Ashville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ashville lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,848 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ashville at the 6th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Ashville's buildings actually sit
Ashville rates 85.7% Minimal exposure against just 14.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,848 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Ashville and the insurance market
At the 5th national percentile, Ashville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Ashville
With 85.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Ashville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
