Grandview, OH
Grandview, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Grandview's 856 buildings earn a 15th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Grandview at the 17th percentile, close to its 15th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Grandview's 856 counted buildings, 95% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Grandview compares
Compare Grandview's two percentiles: 43rd within Ohio, only 15th nationally — a gap of 28 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grandview ranks 26,702 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,123 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 717 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Grandview and the insurance market
Grandview's low rating (15th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Grandview (95%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
