Fort Jennings, OH
Fort Jennings, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Fort Jennings at the 1st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 349 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fort Jennings at the 1st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
91.1% of Fort Jennings's 349 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 8.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Fort Jennings ranks
There's little gap between Fort Jennings's 1st national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fort Jennings ranks 31,372 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,346 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,228 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
At the 1st national percentile, Fort Jennings rates low 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
Even with 91.1% of Fort Jennings 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.
