Green, OH
Green wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Green at the 28th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 12,629 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Green's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 30th percentile nationally.
Where Green's buildings actually sit
57.1% of Green's 12,629 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 7,214 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 15.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 27.3% are Minimal. At 12,629 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Green compares
Green's 62nd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 28th 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 ranks 22,609 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,212 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 475 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Green and the insurance market
Green's moderate rating (28th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 57.1% of Green 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.
More on how this number was built
Green's 28th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Green, see the exposure-zones guide.
