Brimfield, OH
Brimfield wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Brimfield at the 31st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,697 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Brimfield at the 32nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Brimfield's building exposure, zone by zone
51.3% of Brimfield's 1,697 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 33.9% Direct and 14.8% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Brimfield ranks
Within Ohio, Brimfield ranks higher (67th percentile) than it does nationally (31st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brimfield ranks 21,874 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,429 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 418 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Brimfield and the insurance market
Brimfield's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 51.3% of Brimfield'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.
