Where Burkettsville's buildings actually sit
Burkettsville rates 85.1% Minimal exposure against just 14.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 161 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Burkettsville ranks
There's little gap between Burkettsville's 1st national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Burkettsville ranks 31,369 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,396 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,225 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
Burkettsville's low rating (1st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Burkettsville
