Fremont, OH
How exposed is Fremont to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fremont lands at the 3rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 8,083 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fremont at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Fremont's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 2.6% of Fremont's 8,083 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 97.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 8,083 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Fremont ranks
Fremont's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (16th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (3rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fremont ranks 30,680 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,077 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,055 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Fremont and the insurance market
Fremont's low wildfire rating (3rd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 97.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fremont gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
