Fletcher, OH
How exposed is Fletcher to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fletcher lands at the 2nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 333 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 Fletcher at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Fletcher's building exposure, zone by zone
Fletcher rates 87.1% Minimal exposure against just 12.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 333 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Fletcher ranks
Fletcher scores 2nd nationally and 12th within Ohio — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fletcher ranks 30,963 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,738 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,114 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Fletcher and the insurance market
At the 2nd national percentile, Fletcher rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Fletcher
Fletcher's 87.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
