Butlerville, OH
How exposed is Butlerville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Butlerville lands at the 22nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 108 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Butlerville at the 24th percentile, close to its 22nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Butlerville's 108 counted buildings, 88.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Butlerville and the insurance market
At the 22nd national percentile, Butlerville rates moderate 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Butlerville (88.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
