Burgoon, OH
Burgoon, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Burgoon's 134 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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Burgoon at the 2nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Burgoon's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 85.8% of Burgoon's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 14.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Burgoon compares
There's little gap between Burgoon's 2nd national percentile and its 14th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Burgoon ranks 30,899 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,555 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,096 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Burgoon and the insurance market
At the 2nd national percentile, Burgoon rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Burgoon's 85.8% 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 Burgoon's figures come from
Burgoon's 2nd-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 Burgoon's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
