Bucyrus, OH
Bucyrus, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Bucyrus's 6,618 buildings earn a 2nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bucyrus at the 3rd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Where Bucyrus's buildings actually sit
96.5% of Bucyrus's 6,618 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 3.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 6,618 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Bucyrus compares
There's little gap between Bucyrus's 2nd national percentile and its 15th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bucyrus ranks 30,773 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,619 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,070 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bucyrus
Bucyrus's low rating (2nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 96.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Bucyrus gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
