Jenera, OH
Jenera wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Jenera at the 2nd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 177 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jenera at the 2nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Jenera's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 94.9% of Jenera's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 5.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Jenera compares
Jenera's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (10th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (2nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jenera ranks 31,055 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,760 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,141 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Jenera and the insurance market
At the 2nd national percentile, Jenera 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 94.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Jenera gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
