Lyndhurst, OH
Lyndhurst wildfire risk explained
Lyndhurst's 6,978 buildings earn a 21st-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 Lyndhurst at the 23rd national percentile — 2 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
USFS classifies 93.9% of Lyndhurst's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 6,978 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Lyndhurst against the rest of the country
Compare Lyndhurst's two percentiles: 51st within Ohio, only 21st nationally — a gap of 31 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lyndhurst ranks 25,032 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,475 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 617 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst's moderate rating (21st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Lyndhurst
Even with 93.9% of Lyndhurst outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Lyndhurst's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Lyndhurst's 25,032-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lyndhurst's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
