Marysville, OH
Marysville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Marysville lands at the 4th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 8,021 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Marysville at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Marysville's buildings (92.3% of 8,021) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 8,021 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Marysville against the rest of the country
Compare Marysville's two percentiles: 21st within Ohio, only 4th nationally — a gap of 17 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Marysville ranks 30,271 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,104 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 998 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Marysville and the insurance market
Marysville's low rating (4th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 92.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Marysville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Marysville's figures come from
Marysville's 4th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Marysville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
