How exposed is De Graff to wildfire?

Low
4thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, De Graff lands at the 4th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 751 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts De Graff at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.

Where De Graff's buildings actually sit

751Total buildings
24.5%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
75.5%Minimal exposure

Most of De Graff's buildings (75.5% of 751) 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.

De Graff against the rest of the country

Within Ohio, De Graff ranks higher (21st percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, De Graff ranks 30,332 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,115 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,004 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in De Graff

At the 4th national percentile, De Graff 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

Even with 75.5% of De Graff outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.

Where De Graff's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind De Graff's 30,332-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what De Graff's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
