Jacksonburg, OH
Jacksonburg, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Jacksonburg at the 17th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 40 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jacksonburg at the 18th national percentile — 2 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
40 buildings are counted in Jacksonburg, and 92.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Jacksonburg ranks
Compare Jacksonburg's two percentiles: 45th within Ohio, only 17th nationally — a gap of 29 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state.

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 691 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Jacksonburg and the insurance market
Jacksonburg's low wildfire rating (17th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Jacksonburg (92.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
