Magnetic Springs, OH
Magnetic Springs, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Magnetic Springs at the 3rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 155 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Magnetic Springs's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.
Where Magnetic Springs's buildings actually sit
89.7% of Magnetic Springs's 155 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 10.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Magnetic Springs ranks
Magnetic Springs's 19th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 3rd 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, Magnetic Springs ranks 30,492 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,676 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,025 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Magnetic Springs and the insurance market
At the 3rd national percentile, Magnetic Springs 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
Magnetic Springs's 89.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Magnetic Springs's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Magnetic Springs's 30,492-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide.
