Mack, OH
How exposed is Mack to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mack at the 13th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 4,845 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Mack at the 15th percentile, close to its 13th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 78.6% of Mack's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 20.5% Indirect share and far above its 0.9% Minimal share — a profile where 3,809 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Mack ranks
Mack's 40th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 13th 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, Mack ranks 27,335 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,527 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 763 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mack
At the 13th national percentile, Mack rates low 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 78.6% of Mack in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
