Hide-A-Way Hills, OH
Hide-A-Way Hills, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hide-A-Way Hills sits at the 41st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 573 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hide-A-Way Hills at the 42nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Direct exposure dominates in Hide-A-Way Hills: 100% of its 573 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
