East Alliance, OH
East Alliance wildfire risk explained
East Alliance sits at the 31st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 302 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks East Alliance at the 31st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where East Alliance's buildings actually sit
Most of East Alliance's buildings (62.3% of 302) 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.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 62.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, East Alliance 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
East Alliance's 31st-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 East Alliance, see the exposure-zones guide.
