Millville, OH
Millville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Millville's 397 buildings earn a 28th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Millville at the 31st percentile, close to its 28th-percentile risk score.
Millville's building exposure, zone by zone
68.8% of Millville's 397 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 31.2% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Millville against the rest of the country
Millville's 63rd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 28th 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, Millville ranks 22,610 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,280 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 476 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Millville's moderate wildfire rating (28th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Millville (68.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
