Eldorado, OH
Eldorado wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Eldorado at the 1st national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 344 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eldorado at the 1st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Eldorado's buildings actually sit
Most of Eldorado's buildings (81.4% of 344) 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 Eldorado ranks
Eldorado's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (3rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eldorado ranks 31,371 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,475 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,227 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Eldorado
Eldorado's low rating (1st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 81.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Eldorado gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
