Burbank, OH
Burbank, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Burbank sits at the 23rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 177 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Burbank at the 23rd percentile, close to its 23rd-percentile risk score.
Where Burbank's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 59.9% of Burbank's 177 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 40.1% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Burbank compares
Burbank's 55th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 23rd 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, Burbank ranks 24,403 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,759 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 573 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Burbank's moderate wildfire rating (23rd 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 Burbank
Because 59.9% of Burbank's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
