Lordstown, OH
Lordstown, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lordstown's 2,709 buildings earn a 35th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lordstown at the 36th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
2,709 buildings are counted in Lordstown, and 72.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 4.1% rated Minimal.
Lordstown against the rest of the country
Lordstown's 77th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 35th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lordstown ranks 20,366 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,912 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 289 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Lordstown and the insurance market
At the 35th national percentile, Lordstown rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lordstown (72.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
