Graysville, OH
Graysville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Graysville lands at the 44th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 97 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Graysville at the 44th percentile, close to its 44th-percentile risk score.
Where Graysville's buildings actually sit
Of Graysville's 97 counted buildings, 100% 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.
Where Graysville ranks
Compare Graysville's two percentiles: 95th within Ohio, only 44th nationally — a gap of 51 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Graysville ranks 17,722 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,194 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 63 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
Graysville's elevated wildfire rating (44th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of Graysville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
