Hamler, OH
Hamler, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Hamler at the 0th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 390 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hamler's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 0th percentile nationally.
Hamler's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 5.4% of Hamler's 390 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 94.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Hamler ranks
There's little gap between Hamler's 0th national percentile and its 1st percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hamler ranks 31,467 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,412 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,249 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hamler
At the 0th national percentile, Hamler rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 94.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hamler gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Hamler's figures come from
Hamler's 0th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hamler's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
