Fayetteville, OH
Fayetteville wildfire risk explained
Fayetteville's 261 buildings earn a 14th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fayetteville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
Fayetteville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Fayetteville's buildings (71.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Fayetteville against the rest of the country
Fayetteville's 40th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 14th 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, Fayetteville ranks 27,206 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,803 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 752 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fayetteville
Fayetteville's low wildfire rating (14th 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 Fayetteville
Fayetteville's 71.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
