Green Springs, OH
Green Springs, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Green Springs sits at the 2nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 729 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Green Springs's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
Where Green Springs's buildings actually sit
Only 11.9% of Green Springs's 729 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 88.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Green Springs against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Green Springs's 2nd national percentile and its 14th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Green Springs ranks 30,870 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,352 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,089 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
At the 2nd national percentile, Green Springs rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Green Springs
Even with 88.1% of Green Springs 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.
