Brooklyn Heights, OH
Brooklyn Heights, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Brooklyn Heights's 1,015 buildings earn a 26th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Brooklyn Heights at the 25th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Brooklyn Heights's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 90% of Brooklyn Heights's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 10.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Brooklyn Heights ranks
Within Ohio, Brooklyn Heights ranks higher (59th percentile) than it does nationally (26th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brooklyn Heights ranks 23,428 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,837 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 522 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Brooklyn Heights and the insurance market
Brooklyn Heights's moderate rating (26th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Heights's 90% 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.
More on how this number was built
Brooklyn Heights's 26th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Brooklyn Heights, see the exposure-zones guide.
