Monroeville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
4thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Monroeville at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 783 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Monroeville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.

Monroeville's building exposure, zone by zone

783Total buildings
13.2%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
86.9%Minimal exposure

Only 13.2% of Monroeville's 783 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 86.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

How Monroeville compares

Monroeville's 22nd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 4th 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, Monroeville ranks 30,173 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,791 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 983 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

At the 4th national percentile, Monroeville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Hardening a home in Monroeville

With 86.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Monroeville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
