Continental, OH
Continental, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Continental's 695 buildings earn a 1st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Continental at the 1st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Continental's building exposure, zone by zone
Continental rates 92.2% Minimal exposure against just 7.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 695 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Continental compares
Continental scores 1st nationally and 6th within Ohio — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Continental ranks 31,214 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,721 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,193 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Continental
At the 1st national percentile, Continental 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
Continental's 92.2% 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.
More on how this number was built
Continental's 1st-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 Continental, see the exposure-zones guide.
