Chagrin Falls, OH
How exposed is Chagrin Falls to wildfire?
USFS scores Chagrin Falls at the 32nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,807 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Chagrin Falls at the 33rd percentile, close to its 32nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Chagrin Falls's buildings (39.9% of 1,807) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Chagrin Falls and the insurance market
At the 32nd national percentile, Chagrin Falls rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 39.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Chagrin Falls gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Chagrin Falls's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Chagrin Falls, see the exposure-zones guide.
