Where New Alexandria's buildings actually sit

How New Alexandria compares
New Alexandria's 92nd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 42nd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 105 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in New Alexandria
New Alexandria's elevated rating (42nd 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in New Alexandria (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
