Barnhill, OH
Barnhill, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Barnhill at the 40th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 228 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Barnhill's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 41st percentile nationally.
Barnhill's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Barnhill: 95.6% of its 228 buildings, versus 4.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Barnhill ranks

Barnhill and the insurance market
Barnhill's elevated rating (40th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Barnhill
With 95.6% of Barnhill in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Barnhill's 40th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Barnhill, see the exposure-zones guide.
