Parral, OH
How exposed is Parral to wildfire?
Parral's 157 buildings earn a 35th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Parral at the 36th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Parral's buildings actually sit
Most of Parral's buildings (77.1%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Parral against the rest of the country
Parral's 77th-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, Parral ranks 20,399 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,579 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 295 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Parral and the insurance market
At the 35th national percentile, Parral rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Parral
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Parral (77.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Parral'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 indirect exposure implies beyond Parral, see the exposure-zones guide.
