Lake Lakengren, OH
Lake Lakengren, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lake Lakengren at the 10th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,866 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lake Lakengren at the 10th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Lake Lakengren's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Lake Lakengren: 75.1% of its 1,866 buildings, versus 20.2% Indirect and 4.7% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Lake Lakengren compares

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 871 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Lake Lakengren and the insurance market
Lake Lakengren's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 75.1% of Lake Lakengren in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
