Maple Heights, OH
How exposed is Maple Heights to wildfire?
Maple Heights sits at the 27th 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 14,290 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Maple Heights's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 29th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Maple Heights rates 97.9% Minimal exposure against just 2.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 14,290 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 14,290 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Maple Heights compares
Compare Maple Heights's two percentiles: 60th within Ohio, only 27th nationally — a gap of 33 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Maple Heights ranks 22,949 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,049 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 502 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Maple Heights
Maple Heights's moderate wildfire rating (27th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Maple Heights
Even with 97.9% of Maple Heights 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.
More on how this number was built
Maple Heights's 27th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Maple Heights, see the exposure-zones guide.
