Jeromesville, OH
How exposed is Jeromesville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jeromesville lands at the 16th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 343 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jeromesville at the 16th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Jeromesville's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 22.5% of Jeromesville's 343 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 77.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

Jeromesville and the insurance market
At the 16th national percentile, Jeromesville 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
Jeromesville's 77.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
