Craig Beach, OH
Craig Beach wildfire risk explained
Craig Beach's 738 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 Craig Beach at the 36th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Craig Beach's building exposure, zone by zone
63% of Craig Beach's 738 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 36.5% Direct and 0.5% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Craig Beach against the rest of the country
Craig Beach's 77th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 35th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Craig Beach ranks 20,429 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,243 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 296 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Craig Beach and the insurance market
At the 35th national percentile, Craig Beach rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 63% of Craig Beach'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.
