New Knoxville, OH
New Knoxville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
New Knoxville's 619 buildings earn a 2nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks New Knoxville at the 2nd national percentile — 0 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
USFS classifies 90.8% of New Knoxville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 9.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How New Knoxville compares
New Knoxville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (13th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (2nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, New Knoxville ranks 30,933 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,577 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,108 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
New Knoxville's low wildfire rating (2nd 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.
Hardening a home in New Knoxville
New Knoxville's 90.8% 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.
