Mifflin, OH
Mifflin, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mifflin lands at the 37th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 108 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Mifflin at the 38th percentile, close to its 37th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Mifflin's buildings (55.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Mifflin compares
Mifflin's 81st-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 37th 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, Mifflin ranks 19,831 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,707 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 238 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Mifflin and the insurance market
At the 37th national percentile, Mifflin rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Mifflin's 55.6% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
