Morrow, OH
Morrow, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Morrow at the 25th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 843 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Morrow at the 28th percentile, close to its 25th-percentile risk score.
Where Morrow's buildings actually sit
55.6% of Morrow's 843 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 469 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 44.4% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Morrow compares
Within Ohio, Morrow ranks higher (57th percentile) than it does nationally (25th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Morrow ranks 23,616 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,225 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 537 of 1,264 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Morrow
Morrow's moderate rating (25th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Morrow (55.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Morrow's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Morrow's 23,616-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Morrow's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
