Glenmont, OH
Glenmont, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Glenmont lands at the 43rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 190 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glenmont's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 44th percentile nationally.
Where Glenmont's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 57.9% of Glenmont's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 42.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 110 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Glenmont against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Glenmont ranks higher (94th percentile) than it does nationally (43rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glenmont ranks 18,067 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,254 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 77 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
Glenmont's elevated wildfire rating (43rd 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.
Hardening a home in Glenmont
Because Direct exposure dominates in Glenmont (57.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
