Evendale, OH
Evendale, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Evendale at the 11th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,798 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Evendale at the 13th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Where Evendale's buildings actually sit
50.4% of Evendale's 1,798 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 49.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Evendale against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Evendale ranks higher (34th percentile) than it does nationally (11th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Evendale ranks 28,063 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,066 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 837 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
Evendale's low rating (11th 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
With 50.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Evendale gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
