Neville, OH
Neville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Neville at the 19th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 78 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Neville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 20th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
96.2% of Neville's 78 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 75 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 3.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Neville ranks
Compare Neville's two percentiles: 49th within Ohio, only 19th nationally — a gap of 30 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Neville ranks 25,601 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,981 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 644 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Neville
At the 19th national percentile, Neville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Neville (96.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Neville's 19th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Neville, see the exposure-zones guide.
