Good Hope, OH
Good Hope, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Good Hope's 196 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Good Hope's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
Where Good Hope's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 61.7% of Good Hope's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 38.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Good Hope ranks
Within Ohio, Good Hope ranks higher (22nd percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Good Hope ranks 30,172 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,009 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 982 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Good Hope and the insurance market
Good Hope's low wildfire rating (4th 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
Even with 61.7% of Good Hope 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.
Where Good Hope's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Good Hope's 30,172-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Good Hope's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
