Edgewood, OH
Edgewood wildfire risk explained
Edgewood's 2,780 buildings earn a 33rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Edgewood at the 34th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
2,780 buildings are counted in Edgewood, and 36.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 31.3% in Direct exposure or the 31.8% rated Minimal.
How Edgewood compares
Compare Edgewood's two percentiles: 73rd within Ohio, only 33rd nationally — a gap of 40 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edgewood ranks 21,118 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,802 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 346 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
Edgewood's moderate rating (33rd 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
Because 36.9% of Edgewood's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Edgewood's figures come from
Edgewood's 33rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Edgewood's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
