Brice, OH
Brice wildfire risk explained
Brice's 116 buildings earn a 9th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Brice at the 12th national percentile — 2 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
Most of Brice's buildings (99.1% of 116) 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.
Brice against the rest of the country
Brice's 31st-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 9th 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, Brice ranks 28,627 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,376 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 874 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Brice
Brice's low wildfire rating (9th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Brice's 99.1% 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.
