Kettlersville, OH
Kettlersville wildfire risk explained
Kettlersville sits at the 1st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 160 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Kettlersville at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Where Kettlersville's buildings actually sit
Kettlersville rates 78.1% Minimal exposure against just 21.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 160 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Kettlersville ranks

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,195 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kettlersville
Kettlersville's low wildfire rating (1st 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.
Hardening a home in Kettlersville
Even with 78.1% of Kettlersville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
