North Industry, OH
How exposed is North Industry to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts North Industry at the 35th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,011 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks North Industry at the 36th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
North Industry's building exposure, zone by zone
56.9% of North Industry's 1,011 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 575 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 42.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0.3% are Minimal.
North Industry against the rest of the country
North Industry's 76th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 35th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, North Industry ranks 20,494 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,855 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 302 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in North Industry
North Industry's moderate rating (35th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 56.9% of North Industry in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
North Industry's 35th-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 North Industry, see the exposure-zones guide.
