Huber Ridge, OH
How exposed is Huber Ridge to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Huber Ridge lands at the 12th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,867 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Huber Ridge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
Huber Ridge's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 94.1% of Huber Ridge's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 5.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Huber Ridge and the insurance market
At the 12th national percentile, Huber Ridge rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Huber Ridge
With 94.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Huber Ridge gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Huber Ridge's figures come from
Huber Ridge's 12th-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 Huber Ridge's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
