Dellroy wildfire risk explained

Elevated
42ndpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Dellroy at the 42nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 213 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dellroy at the 43rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

213Total buildings
13.6%Direct exposure
85.9%Indirect exposure
0.5%Minimal exposure

Most of Dellroy's buildings (85.9%) 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.

How Dellroy compares

Dellroy's 93rd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 42nd 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, Dellroy ranks 18,280 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,374 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 93 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Dellroy

At the 42nd national percentile, Dellroy rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Because 85.9% of Dellroy'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.

More on how this number was built

Dellroy's 42nd-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 Dellroy, see the exposure-zones guide.
