Columbiana, OH
Columbiana, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Columbiana at the 28th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 3,513 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Columbiana at the 28th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Columbiana's buildings actually sit
69.8% of Columbiana's 3,513 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 28.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Columbiana against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Columbiana ranks higher (62nd percentile) than it does nationally (28th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Columbiana ranks 22,641 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,758 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 478 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Columbiana
At the 28th national percentile, Columbiana rates moderate 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
Columbiana's 69.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Columbiana's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Columbiana's 22,641-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Columbiana's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
