Elmwood Place, OH
Elmwood Place, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Elmwood Place at the 10th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 915 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Elmwood Place's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 12th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Elmwood Place rates 100% Minimal exposure against just 0% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 915 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Elmwood Place compares
Elmwood Place's 32nd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 10th 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, Elmwood Place ranks 28,349 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,596 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 861 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Elmwood Place
Elmwood Place's low wildfire rating (10th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Elmwood Place gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Elmwood Place's 10th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Elmwood Place, see the exposure-zones guide.
