Ohioville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ohioville's 2,489 buildings earn a 40th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ohioville at the 41st percentile, close to its 40th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
94.4% of Ohioville's 2,489 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 2,350 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 5.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Ohioville compares
Ohioville's 63rd-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 40th 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, Ohioville ranks 18,888 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,319 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 738 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Ohioville and the insurance market
At the 40th national percentile, Ohioville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Ohioville's 94.4% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Ohioville's 40th-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 Ohioville, see the exposure-zones guide.
