East Fultonham, OH
East Fultonham wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, East Fultonham lands at the 39th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 258 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts East Fultonham at the 41st percentile, close to its 39th-percentile risk score.
Where East Fultonham's buildings actually sit
69.8% of East Fultonham's 258 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 30.2% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

What this risk score means for insurance
At the 39th national percentile, East Fultonham rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
East Fultonham's 69.8% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
