Fort McKinley, OH
How exposed is Fort McKinley to wildfire?
Fort McKinley's 2,185 buildings earn a 11th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fort McKinley at the 13th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Where Fort McKinley's buildings actually sit
93.9% of Fort McKinley's 2,185 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 6.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Fort McKinley compares
Compare Fort McKinley's two percentiles: 34th within Ohio, only 11th nationally — a gap of 23 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fort McKinley ranks 28,028 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,977 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 834 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
Fort McKinley's low rating (11th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Fort McKinley
Even with 93.9% of Fort McKinley 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.
