Middle Point, OH
Middle Point, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Middle Point sits at the 1st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 431 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Middle Point at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Where Middle Point's buildings actually sit
Most of Middle Point's buildings (88.4% of 431) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Middle Point ranks
Middle Point scores 1st nationally and 5th 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, Middle Point ranks 31,283 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,631 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,213 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Middle Point and the insurance market
At the 1st national percentile, Middle Point 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 Middle Point
With 88.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Middle Point gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
