Brookville, OH
How exposed is Brookville to wildfire?
Brookville's 2,833 buildings earn a 6th-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 Brookville at the 7th national percentile — 0 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
Brookville rates 85% Minimal exposure against just 15% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 2,833 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Brookville against the rest of the country
Brookville's 27th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 6th 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, Brookville ranks 29,515 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,692 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 922 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Brookville
Brookville's low wildfire rating (6th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Brookville's 85% 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.
Where Brookville's figures come from
Brookville's 6th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Brookville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
