Attica, OH
How exposed is Attica to wildfire?
USFS scores Attica at the 2nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 629 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Attica's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
Attica's building exposure, zone by zone
Attica rates 91.9% Minimal exposure against just 8.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 629 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Attica ranks
Attica's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (10th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (2nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Attica ranks 31,026 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,459 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,131 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Attica
Attica'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
Even with 91.9% of Attica 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.
