Bloomville, OH
How exposed is Bloomville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Bloomville lands at the 3rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 564 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bloomville at the 3rd percentile, close to its 3rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Bloomville's buildings (94.9% of 564) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Bloomville against the rest of the country
Bloomville scores 3rd nationally and 17th within Ohio — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bloomville ranks 30,647 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,344 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,048 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Bloomville and the insurance market
At the 3rd national percentile, Bloomville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 94.9% of Bloomville 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.
