Macedonia, OH
Macedonia, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Macedonia at the 27th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 5,337 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Macedonia at the 29th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Macedonia's buildings actually sit
Only 28.9% of Macedonia's 5,337 buildings carry Direct exposure and 10.4% carry Indirect; the remaining 60.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,337 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Macedonia ranks
Macedonia's 60th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 27th 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, Macedonia ranks 22,948 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,235 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 501 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
Macedonia's moderate rating (27th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 60.7% of Macedonia 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 Macedonia's figures come from
Macedonia's 27th-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 Macedonia's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
