Lake Mohawk, OH
Lake Mohawk, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lake Mohawk at the 39th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,181 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 Mohawk at the 40th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
