Coshocton, OH
Coshocton, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Coshocton's 5,631 buildings earn a 35th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Coshocton at the 36th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Coshocton's buildings actually sit
Most of Coshocton's buildings (86.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone. At 5,631 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Coshocton ranks
Within Ohio, Coshocton ranks higher (76th percentile) than it does nationally (35th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Coshocton ranks 20,491 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,069 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 299 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Coshocton
Coshocton's moderate wildfire rating (35th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 86.6% of Coshocton's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
