Groveport, OH
Groveport wildfire risk explained
Groveport sits at the 11th 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 2,914 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Groveport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 18.9% of Groveport's 2,914 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 81.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Groveport against the rest of the country
Groveport's 35th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 11th 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, Groveport ranks 27,965 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,563 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 827 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Groveport
Groveport's low wildfire rating (11th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Groveport's 81.1% 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.
