Corwin, OH
Corwin, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Corwin at the 17th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 270 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Corwin's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 19th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Corwin (71.1% of 270 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 28.9% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Corwin ranks
Within Ohio, Corwin ranks higher (46th percentile) than it does nationally (17th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Hardening a home in Corwin
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Corwin (71.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Corwin's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Corwin's 26,195-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Corwin's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
