What "at risk" means for the buildings here
136 buildings are counted in Bannock, and 89% 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.
Bannock against the rest of the country
Bannock's 91st-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 41st national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bannock ranks 18,569 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,461 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 118 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Bannock and the insurance market
Bannock's elevated rating (41st 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
Bannock's 89% 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.
