Perrysburg, OH
Perrysburg wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Perrysburg at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 9,290 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Perrysburg at the 5th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Where Perrysburg's buildings actually sit
Only 9.8% of Perrysburg's 9,290 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 90.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 9,290 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Perrysburg compares
Perrysburg's 21st-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 4th 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, Perrysburg ranks 30,241 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,772 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 995 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Perrysburg
Perrysburg's low rating (4th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 90.2% of Perrysburg 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.
Where Perrysburg's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Perrysburg's 30,241-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Perrysburg's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
