Millbury, OH
Millbury, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Millbury at the 2nd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 678 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Millbury at the 2nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Millbury's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 85% of Millbury's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 15% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
