Lisbon, OH
Lisbon wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Lisbon at the 40th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,543 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lisbon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 40th percentile nationally.
Where Lisbon's buildings actually sit
1,543 buildings are counted in Lisbon, and 85% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 15% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Lisbon against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Lisbon ranks higher (87th percentile) than it does nationally (40th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lisbon ranks 18,884 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,973 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 161 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lisbon
Lisbon's elevated wildfire rating (40th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 85% of Lisbon's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Lisbon's figures come from
Lisbon's 40th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lisbon's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
