Lucasville, OH
How exposed is Lucasville to wildfire?
Lucasville sits at the 54th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,231 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lucasville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Lucasville's building exposure, zone by zone
1,231 buildings are counted in Lucasville, and 59.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 40.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.

Lucasville and the insurance market
At the 54th national percentile, Lucasville rates elevated 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lucasville (59.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Lucasville's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Lucasville, see the exposure-zones guide.
