New London, OH
New London, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
New London's 1,477 buildings earn a 19th-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 New London at the 18th percentile, close to its 19th-percentile risk score.
Where New London's buildings actually sit
New London rates 77.2% Minimal exposure against just 20.9% Direct and 1.9% Indirect — of 1,477 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
New London against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, New London ranks higher (49th percentile) than it does nationally (19th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, New London ranks 25,538 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,276 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 641 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
New London and the insurance market
New London's low wildfire rating (19th 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 London
Even with 77.2% of New London outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
