Casstown, OH
How exposed is Casstown to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Casstown lands at the 4th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 205 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 Casstown at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Where Casstown's buildings actually sit
Casstown rates 81.5% Minimal exposure against just 18.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 205 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Casstown compares

Shopping for coverage in Casstown
Casstown's low rating (4th 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 Casstown
Even with 81.5% of Casstown 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.
