Dunlap, OH
Dunlap wildfire risk explained
Dunlap sits at the 16th 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 1,162 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dunlap's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 18th percentile nationally.
Where Dunlap's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 97.7% of Dunlap's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 2.3% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 1,135 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
