Nashport, OH
How exposed is Nashport to wildfire?
USFS scores Nashport at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 325 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Nashport at the 40th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Nashport: 94.8% of its 325 buildings, versus 5.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Shopping for coverage in Nashport
Nashport's moderate wildfire rating (38th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
