Leavittsburg wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Leavittsburg lands at the 31st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,188 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leavittsburg at the 32nd percentile, close to its 31st-percentile risk score.
Where Leavittsburg's buildings actually sit
Of Leavittsburg's 1,188 counted buildings, 52% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
