Lewisburg, OH
How exposed is Lewisburg to wildfire?
Lewisburg sits at the 8th 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 1,098 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 Lewisburg at the 9th percentile, close to its 8th-percentile risk score.

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 890 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Lewisburg and the insurance market
Lewisburg's low wildfire rating (8th 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 Lewisburg
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lewisburg (51.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
