Logan, OH
Logan, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Logan lands at the 39th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 3,812 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Logan's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 41st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Logan (81.5% of 3,812 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 18.6% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Logan ranks
Compare Logan's two percentiles: 85th within Ohio, only 39th nationally — a gap of 46 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Logan ranks 19,201 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,412 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 186 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Logan's moderate wildfire rating (39th 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 Logan
Logan's 81.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Logan's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Logan's 19,201-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Logan's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
