Felicity, OH
Felicity, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Felicity lands at the 24th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 430 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Felicity's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
Felicity's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 84.7% of Felicity's 430 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 15.4% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Felicity compares
Compare Felicity's two percentiles: 56th within Ohio, only 24th nationally — a gap of 32 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Felicity ranks 23,929 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,655 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 550 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Felicity and the insurance market
At the 24th national percentile, Felicity rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Felicity (84.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Felicity's 24th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Felicity, see the exposure-zones guide.
