Huntsville, OH
Huntsville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Huntsville's 299 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Huntsville at the 5th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
70.6% of Huntsville's 299 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 29.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Huntsville compares
Compare Huntsville's two percentiles: 23rd within Ohio, only 4th nationally — a gap of 19 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huntsville ranks 30,145 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,661 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 976 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 4th national percentile, Huntsville 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 70.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Huntsville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
