Milford, OH
Milford, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Milford's 2,520 buildings earn a 19th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Milford at the 21st percentile, close to its 19th-percentile risk score.
Milford's building exposure, zone by zone
2,520 buildings are counted in Milford, and 61.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 37.7% in Direct exposure or the 1% rated Minimal.
Where Milford ranks
Within Ohio, Milford ranks higher (50th percentile) than it does nationally (19th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Milford ranks 25,475 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,266 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 638 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Milford
At the 19th national percentile, Milford rates low 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
Because 61.3% of Milford'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.
