Deshler, OH

How exposed is Deshler to wildfire?

Low
0thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Deshler at the 0th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,122 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Deshler's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 0th percentile nationally.

Where Deshler's buildings actually sit

1,122Total buildings
6.2%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
93.9%Minimal exposure

Deshler rates 93.9% Minimal exposure against just 6.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,122 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Deshler against the rest of the country

Deshler's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (0th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Deshler ranks 31,500 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,143 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,258 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.

Deshler and the insurance market

At the 0th national percentile, Deshler rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Hardening a home in Deshler

With 93.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Deshler 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

Deshler's 0th-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 Deshler, see the exposure-zones guide.
