Cedarville, OH
How exposed is Cedarville to wildfire?
Cedarville sits at the 6th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 836 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cedarville at the 6th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Cedarville's building exposure, zone by zone
87.7% of Cedarville's 836 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 12.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Cedarville compares
Compare Cedarville's two percentiles: 26th within Ohio, only 6th nationally — a gap of 20 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cedarville ranks 29,703 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,294 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 940 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cedarville
Cedarville'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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 87.7% of Cedarville 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.
