Jeffersonville, OH
How exposed is Jeffersonville to wildfire?
USFS scores Jeffersonville at the 1st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 693 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jeffersonville at the 1st 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
Only 9.1% of Jeffersonville's 693 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 90.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Jeffersonville compares
There's little gap between Jeffersonville's 1st national percentile and its 7th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jeffersonville ranks 31,182 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,736 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,183 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Jeffersonville and the insurance market
Jeffersonville's low rating (1st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 90.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Jeffersonville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
