Dupont, OH
Dupont, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Dupont at the 2nd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 171 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dupont's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
Where Dupont's buildings actually sit
Dupont rates 74.3% Minimal exposure against just 25.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 171 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Dupont compares
Dupont's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (12th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (2nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dupont ranks 30,931 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,995 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,106 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
Dupont's low rating (2nd 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
Even with 74.3% of Dupont 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.
