Bridgeport, OH
Bridgeport, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Bridgeport's 919 buildings earn a 33rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bridgeport at the 33rd percentile, close to its 33rd-percentile risk score.
Where Bridgeport's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 71.4% of Bridgeport's 919 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 28.6% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Bridgeport against the rest of the country
Compare Bridgeport's two percentiles: 73rd within Ohio, only 33rd nationally — a gap of 40 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bridgeport ranks 21,153 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,564 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 348 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Bridgeport and the insurance market
At the 33rd national percentile, Bridgeport rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Bridgeport
Because 71.4% of Bridgeport's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
