Mulberry, OH
Mulberry wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mulberry at the 15th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 911 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mulberry's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
Where Mulberry's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Mulberry: 66.4% of its 911 buildings, versus 27% Indirect and 6.6% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Mulberry ranks
Mulberry's 42nd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 15th 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, Mulberry ranks 26,901 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,631 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 730 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Mulberry and the insurance market
Mulberry's low rating (15th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Mulberry
With 66.4% of Mulberry in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
