Green Meadows, OH
Green Meadows wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Green Meadows at the 8th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,045 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Green Meadows at the 9th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 88.1% of Green Meadows's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 11.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Green Meadows ranks
Green Meadows's 28th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 8th 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, Green Meadows ranks 29,067 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,625 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 905 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Green Meadows and the insurance market
Green Meadows's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Green Meadows
With 88.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Green Meadows gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
