McComb, OH
McComb wildfire risk explained
USFS scores McComb at the 1st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 925 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts McComb at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Where McComb's buildings actually sit
Only 6.3% of McComb's 925 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 93.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
McComb against the rest of the country
There's little gap between McComb's 1st national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, McComb ranks 31,375 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,514 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,231 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
McComb and the insurance market
At the 1st national percentile, McComb rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in McComb
Even with 93.7% of McComb outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where McComb's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind McComb's 31,375-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what McComb's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
