Brunswick, OH
How exposed is Brunswick to wildfire?
Brunswick's 12,836 buildings earn a 31st-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 Brunswick at the 33rd percentile, close to its 31st-percentile risk score.
Brunswick's building exposure, zone by zone
Brunswick rates 55.7% Minimal exposure against just 17% Direct and 27.3% Indirect — of 12,836 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 12,836 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Brunswick compares
Brunswick's 69th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 31st 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, Brunswick ranks 21,659 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,186 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 398 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Brunswick and the insurance market
Brunswick's moderate wildfire rating (31st 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 Brunswick
With 55.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Brunswick gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
