Orange, OH
Orange, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Orange's 1,559 buildings earn a 26th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Orange at the 28th percentile, close to its 26th-percentile risk score.
Orange's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Orange: 60.4% of its 1,559 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 39.6% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Orange compares
Compare Orange's two percentiles: 59th within Ohio, only 26th nationally — a gap of 33 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Orange ranks 23,241 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,925 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 514 of 1,264 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Orange
Orange's moderate rating (26th 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
Orange's 60.4% 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.
Where Orange's figures come from
Orange's 26th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Orange's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
