Glandorf, OH
Glandorf wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Glandorf at the 2nd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 626 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Glandorf at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
85.9% of Glandorf's 626 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 14.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Glandorf ranks
Glandorf scores 2nd nationally and 12th within Ohio — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glandorf ranks 30,964 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,492 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,115 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Glandorf and the insurance market
At the 2nd national percentile, Glandorf rates low 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 Glandorf
Even with 85.9% of Glandorf 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.
