Blaine, OH
Blaine, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Blaine at the 37th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 276 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Blaine at the 39th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Blaine: 64.1% of its 276 buildings, versus 35.9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Shopping for coverage in Blaine
Blaine's moderate wildfire rating (37th 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.
