Edgerton, OH
Edgerton wildfire risk explained
Edgerton sits at the 4th 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 1,264 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edgerton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.
Where Edgerton's buildings actually sit
Most of Edgerton's buildings (89.6% of 1,264) 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.
Where Edgerton ranks
Edgerton's 21st-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 4th 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, Edgerton ranks 30,303 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,273 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,001 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Edgerton and the insurance market
Edgerton's low rating (4th 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 89.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Edgerton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
