Marshallville, OH
Marshallville wildfire risk explained
Marshallville's 469 buildings earn a 16th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Marshallville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 34.5% of Marshallville's 469 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 65.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Marshallville against the rest of the country
Compare Marshallville's two percentiles: 45th within Ohio, only 16th nationally — a gap of 29 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Marshallville ranks 26,385 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,902 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 696 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Marshallville
Marshallville's low wildfire rating (16th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 65.5% of Marshallville 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
Marshallville's 16th-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 Marshallville, see the exposure-zones guide.
