Dillonvale (Hamilton), OH

Dillonvale (Hamilton), OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
11thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Dillonvale (Hamilton) at the 11th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,766 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dillonvale (Hamilton) at the 13th national percentile — 2 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

1,766Total buildings
24.3%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
75.7%Minimal exposure

Most of Dillonvale (Hamilton)'s buildings (75.7% of 1,766) 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.

How Dillonvale (Hamilton) compares

Dillonvale (Hamilton)'s 34th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 11th 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, Dillonvale (Hamilton) ranks 27,998 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,173 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 829 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

Dillonvale (Hamilton)'s low wildfire rating (11th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.

Hardening a home in Dillonvale (Hamilton)

Even with 75.7% of Dillonvale (Hamilton) 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.
