Neapolis, OH
Neapolis wildfire risk explained
Neapolis's 295 buildings earn a 7th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Neapolis at the 7th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Where Neapolis's buildings actually sit
Only 46.1% of Neapolis's 295 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 53.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Neapolis ranks
Within Ohio, Neapolis ranks higher (28th percentile) than it does nationally (7th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Neapolis ranks 29,292 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,767 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 912 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
Neapolis's low rating (7th 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
Neapolis's 53.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Neapolis's 7th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Neapolis, see the exposure-zones guide.
