Crown City, OH
Crown City wildfire risk explained
Crown City sits at the 57th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 318 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crown City at the 58th percentile, close to its 57th-percentile risk score.
Where Crown City's buildings actually sit
318 buildings are counted in Crown City, and 60.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 39.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Crown City against the rest of the country
Crown City's 99th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 57th 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, Crown City ranks 13,500 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,160 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 12 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Crown City and the insurance market
At the 57th national percentile, Crown City rates elevated 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Crown City (60.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Crown City's 57th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Crown City, see the exposure-zones guide.
