Carroll, OH
How exposed is Carroll to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Carroll lands at the 6th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 350 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Carroll's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
Where Carroll's buildings actually sit
Only 18% of Carroll's 350 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 82% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Carroll compares
Within Ohio, Carroll ranks higher (26th percentile) than it does nationally (6th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Carroll ranks 29,668 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,314 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 938 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Carroll
Carroll's low rating (6th 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 Carroll
Even with 82% of Carroll outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
