Bratenahl, OH
Bratenahl, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Bratenahl lands at the 24th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 605 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Bratenahl's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
89.1% of Bratenahl's 605 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 10.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Bratenahl compares
Within Ohio, Bratenahl ranks higher (56th percentile) than it does nationally (24th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bratenahl ranks 24,120 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,769 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 557 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Bratenahl and the insurance market
Bratenahl's moderate rating (24th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 89.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Bratenahl gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
