Maumee, OH
Maumee, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Maumee's 7,854 buildings earn a 8th-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 Maumee at the 9th percentile, close to its 8th-percentile risk score.
Maumee's building exposure, zone by zone
Maumee rates 97.2% Minimal exposure against just 2.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 7,854 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 7,854 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Maumee compares
Compare Maumee's two percentiles: 28th within Ohio, only 8th nationally — a gap of 21 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state.

Shopping for coverage in Maumee
Maumee's low wildfire rating (8th 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.
Hardening a home in Maumee
Maumee's 97.2% 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.
