Christiansburg, OH
How exposed is Christiansburg to wildfire?
USFS scores Christiansburg at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 406 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Christiansburg at the 4th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 71.4% of Christiansburg's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 28.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Christiansburg compares
Christiansburg's 21st-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 4th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Christiansburg ranks 30,302 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,100 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,000 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 4th national percentile, Christiansburg rates low 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
With 71.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Christiansburg gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
