Clarksville, OH
Clarksville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Clarksville sits at the 25th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 307 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Clarksville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
Clarksville's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Clarksville (61.9% of 307 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 38.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Clarksville ranks
Within Ohio, Clarksville ranks higher (57th percentile) than it does nationally (25th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clarksville ranks 23,769 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,451 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 545 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
Clarksville's moderate rating (25th 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
Clarksville's 61.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
