Massieville, OH
Massieville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Massieville at the 44th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 465 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Massieville at the 45th percentile, close to its 44th-percentile risk score.
Where Massieville's buildings actually sit
465 buildings are counted in Massieville, and 86.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Massieville ranks
Massieville's 96th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 44th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 52 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Massieville and the insurance market
At the 44th national percentile, Massieville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Massieville (86.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
