Brunersburg, OH
Brunersburg, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Brunersburg at the 7th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 185 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Brunersburg at the 7th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Brunersburg's buildings actually sit
Brunersburg rates 74.1% Minimal exposure against just 26% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 185 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

What this risk score means for insurance
Brunersburg's low wildfire rating (7th 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.
Hardening a home in Brunersburg
Even with 74.1% of Brunersburg outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
