Cygnet, OH
How exposed is Cygnet to wildfire?
Cygnet sits at the 2nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 347 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cygnet's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
Cygnet's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Cygnet's buildings (93.4% of 347) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Cygnet ranks
Cygnet scores 2nd nationally and 15th 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, Cygnet ranks 30,805 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,404 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,075 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Cygnet and the insurance market
At the 2nd national percentile, Cygnet rates low 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 93.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Cygnet gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Cygnet's 2nd-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 Cygnet, see the exposure-zones guide.
