Dundee, OH
Dundee, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Dundee sits at the 41st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 217 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 Dundee at the 43rd percentile, close to its 41st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
217 buildings are counted in Dundee, and 59% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Dundee compares
Dundee's 90th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 41st 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, Dundee ranks 18,665 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,241 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 132 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Dundee and the insurance market
Dundee's elevated rating (41st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 59% of Dundee in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
