Miamitown, OH
Miamitown, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Miamitown lands at the 15th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 386 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Miamitown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
Where Miamitown's buildings actually sit
59.1% of Miamitown's 386 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 40.9% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Miamitown against the rest of the country
Miamitown's 43rd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 15th 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, Miamitown ranks 26,828 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,503 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 724 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
At the 15th national percentile, Miamitown rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 59.1% of Miamitown's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Miamitown's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Miamitown's 26,828-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Miamitown's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
