What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Munroe Falls (71.9% of 2,148 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 28.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Munroe Falls against the rest of the country
Munroe Falls's 62nd-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, Munroe Falls ranks 22,668 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,077 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 483 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Munroe Falls and the insurance market
Munroe Falls's moderate rating (28th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Munroe Falls's 71.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
