Bloomingburg, OH
Bloomingburg, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Bloomingburg at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 500 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bloomingburg at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Bloomingburg's buildings actually sit
Only 21.4% of Bloomingburg's 500 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 78.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Bloomingburg ranks
Bloomingburg's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (16th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (3rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bloomingburg ranks 30,711 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,364 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,061 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Bloomingburg's low rating (3rd 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 Bloomingburg
Bloomingburg's 78.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
