Marblehead, OH
Marblehead, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Marblehead sits at the 11th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,484 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Marblehead at the 11th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Marblehead's building exposure, zone by zone
86.6% of Marblehead's 1,484 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 13.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Marblehead against the rest of the country
Marblehead's 33rd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 11th 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, Marblehead ranks 28,117 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,230 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 842 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Marblehead
At the 11th national percentile, Marblehead 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 Marblehead
With 86.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Marblehead gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
