Glenford, OH
Glenford, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Glenford at the 39th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 111 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glenford at the 39th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Glenford's buildings actually sit
Most of Glenford's buildings (62.2%) 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 Glenford compares
Glenford's 85th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 39th 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, Glenford ranks 19,200 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,601 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 185 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
At the 39th national percentile, Glenford rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
