Mount Healthy Heights, OH
Mount Healthy Heights, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mount Healthy Heights sits at the 11th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,232 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Mount Healthy Heights at the 13th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Mount Healthy Heights's buildings (63.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Mount Healthy Heights compares
Mount Healthy Heights's 35th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 11th 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, Mount Healthy Heights ranks 27,934 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,462 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 824 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 11th national percentile, Mount Healthy Heights rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 63.6% of Mount Healthy Heights's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
