Greentown, OH
How exposed is Greentown to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greentown lands at the 23rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,565 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greentown at the 25th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Greentown's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 66.1% of Greentown's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 33.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Greentown against the rest of the country
Greentown's 55th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 23rd 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, Greentown ranks 24,246 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,904 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 566 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Greentown and the insurance market
Greentown's moderate wildfire rating (23rd 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.
Hardening a home in Greentown
Greentown's 66.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greentown's 23rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Greentown, see the exposure-zones guide.
