Masury, OH
Masury, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Masury lands at the 32nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,440 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Masury's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 33rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Masury's buildings (54% of 1,440) 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.
How Masury compares
Masury's 70th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 32nd 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, Masury ranks 21,499 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,430 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 387 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Masury's moderate rating (32nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Masury
With 54% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Masury gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
