Luckey, OH

How exposed is Luckey to wildfire?

Low
3rdpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Luckey at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 619 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Luckey's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.

Luckey's building exposure, zone by zone

619Total buildings
14.5%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
85.5%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 85.5% of Luckey's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 14.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

How Luckey compares

Compare Luckey's two percentiles: 19th within Ohio, only 3rd nationally — a gap of 16 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Luckey ranks 30,463 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,576 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,023 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Luckey

At the 3rd national percentile, Luckey rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

What would actually reduce this score

With 85.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Luckey gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

Where Luckey's figures come from

Luckey's 3rd-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 Luckey's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
