North Hampton, OH
How exposed is North Hampton to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts North Hampton at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 332 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks North Hampton at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
North Hampton's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 80.7% of North Hampton's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 19.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
North Hampton against the rest of the country
There's little gap between North Hampton's 3rd national percentile and its 17th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, North Hampton ranks 30,616 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,766 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,044 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
North Hampton and the insurance market
At the 3rd national percentile, North Hampton 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
Even with 80.7% of North Hampton 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.
More on how this number was built
North Hampton's 3rd-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 North Hampton, see the exposure-zones guide.
