Millfield, OH
How exposed is Millfield to wildfire?
Millfield sits at the 42nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 234 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Millfield at the 43rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Millfield's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 91% of Millfield's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 213 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Shopping for coverage in Millfield
Millfield's elevated wildfire rating (42nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Millfield's 91% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
