Geneva, OH
How exposed is Geneva to wildfire?
USFS scores Geneva at the 36th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 2,879 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Geneva at the 38th percentile, close to its 36th-percentile risk score.
Geneva's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Geneva's buildings (70.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Geneva compares
Geneva's 80th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 36th 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, Geneva ranks 20,052 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,614 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 256 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Geneva
At the 36th national percentile, Geneva rates moderate 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 Geneva
Because 70.6% of Geneva's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Geneva's 36th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Geneva, see the exposure-zones guide.
