Edison, OH
How exposed is Edison to wildfire?
Edison 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 317 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Edison at the 5th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Where Edison's buildings actually sit
86.1% of Edison's 317 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 13.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Edison against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Edison ranks higher (22nd percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edison ranks 30,171 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,186 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 981 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edison
At the 4th national percentile, Edison rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Edison gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
