McClure, OH
How exposed is McClure to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, McClure lands at the 1st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 461 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks McClure at the 1st national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
89.4% of McClure's 461 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 10.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How McClure compares
McClure scores 1st nationally and 4th within Ohio — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, McClure ranks 31,280 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,047 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,210 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
McClure and the insurance market
McClure's low wildfire rating (1st 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 89.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, McClure gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where McClure's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind McClure's 31,280-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what McClure's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
