Delshire, OH
How exposed is Delshire to wildfire?
Delshire sits at the 10th 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 1,045 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 Delshire at the 11th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
83.4% of Delshire's 1,045 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 16.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Delshire against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Delshire ranks higher (32nd percentile) than it does nationally (10th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Delshire ranks 28,315 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,624 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 858 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 10th national percentile, Delshire rates low 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
With 83.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Delshire 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
Delshire's 10th-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 Delshire, see the exposure-zones guide.
