Iberia, OH
Iberia wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Iberia lands at the 6th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 392 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Iberia at the 7th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
392 buildings are counted in Iberia, and 66.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 33.9% rated Minimal.
Where Iberia ranks
Iberia's 27th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 6th 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, Iberia ranks 29,516 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,374 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 923 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 6th national percentile, Iberia 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 66.1% of Iberia in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Iberia's figures come from
Iberia's 6th-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 Iberia's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
