Maria Stein, OH
Maria Stein, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Maria Stein's 725 buildings earn a 1st-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 Maria Stein at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Where Maria Stein's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 71.2% of Maria Stein's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 28.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Maria Stein against the rest of the country
Maria Stein's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (4th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Maria Stein ranks 31,282 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,397 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,212 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Maria Stein
Maria Stein's low rating (1st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Maria Stein's 71.2% 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.
More on how this number was built
Maria Stein's 1st-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 Maria Stein, see the exposure-zones guide.
