Meyers Lake, OH
Meyers Lake, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Meyers Lake's 254 buildings earn a 21st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Meyers Lake's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 23rd percentile nationally.
Meyers Lake's building exposure, zone by zone
Meyers Lake rates 87.4% Minimal exposure against just 12.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 254 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Meyers Lake against the rest of the country
Compare Meyers Lake's two percentiles: 52nd within Ohio, only 21st nationally — a gap of 31 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Meyers Lake ranks 24,937 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,026 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 613 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Meyers Lake
Meyers Lake's moderate rating (21st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 87.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Meyers Lake gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Meyers Lake's 21st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Meyers Lake, see the exposure-zones guide.
