Blacklick Estates, OH
Blacklick Estates, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Blacklick Estates at the 11th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 4,028 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Blacklick Estates's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 13th percentile nationally.
Where Blacklick Estates's buildings actually sit
93.9% of Blacklick Estates's 4,028 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 6.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Blacklick Estates compares
Blacklick Estates's 33rd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 11th 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, Blacklick Estates ranks 28,182 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,218 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 846 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Blacklick Estates
Blacklick Estates's low wildfire rating (11th 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 93.9% of Blacklick Estates 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.
