Hicksville, OH
Hicksville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hicksville's 2,034 buildings earn a 5th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hicksville at the 6th percentile, close to its 5th-percentile risk score.
Where Hicksville's buildings actually sit
Only 11.1% of Hicksville's 2,034 buildings carry Direct exposure and 22.6% carry Indirect; the remaining 66.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Hicksville ranks
Hicksville's 25th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 5th 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, Hicksville ranks 29,861 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,373 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 950 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Hicksville and the insurance market
At the 5th national percentile, Hicksville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 66.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hicksville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
