Fairview Park, OH

Fairview Park, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
23rdpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Fairview Park lands at the 23rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 8,201 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fairview Park at the 24th percentile, close to its 23rd-percentile risk score.

Where Fairview Park's buildings actually sit

8,201Total buildings
10.8%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
89.2%Minimal exposure

Fairview Park rates 89.2% Minimal exposure against just 10.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 8,201 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 8,201 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

Fairview Park against the rest of the country

Fairview Park's 55th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 23rd 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, Fairview Park ranks 24,308 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,045 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 568 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

Fairview Park's moderate wildfire rating (23rd 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.

Hardening a home in Fairview Park

Even with 89.2% of Fairview Park outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
