Freeport, OH
Freeport, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Freeport sits at the 42nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 277 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Freeport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 44th percentile nationally.
Where Freeport's buildings actually sit
277 buildings are counted in Freeport, and 53.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Freeport against the rest of the country
Freeport's 94th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 42nd 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, Freeport ranks 18,160 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,300 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 82 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Freeport
At the 42nd national percentile, Freeport rates elevated 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 Freeport
Because Direct exposure dominates in Freeport (53.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
