Maineville, OH
Maineville wildfire risk explained
Maineville sits at the 21st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 552 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Maineville at the 23rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Maineville's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Maineville (68.7% of 552 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 31.3% sit in the Direct zone.

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 605 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Maineville and the insurance market
At the 21st national percentile, Maineville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
