Madison Place, OH
How exposed is Madison Place to wildfire?
Madison Place's 279 buildings earn a 20th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Madison Place at the 22nd percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
83.5% of Madison Place's 279 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 16.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Madison Place against the rest of the country
Madison Place's 51st-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 20th 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, Madison Place ranks 25,227 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,232 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 626 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
At the 20th national percentile, Madison Place rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Madison Place
Because 83.5% of Madison Place's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
