Edon, OH
Edon, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Edon sits at the 3rd 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 621 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.
Edon's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 9.5% of Edon's 621 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 90.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Edon ranks
Compare Edon's two percentiles: 19th within Ohio, only 3rd nationally — a gap of 16 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edon ranks 30,526 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,547 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,028 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edon
Edon's low wildfire rating (3rd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 90.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Edon gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
