Pettisville, OH
Pettisville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Pettisville's 311 buildings earn a 1st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Pettisville at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Pettisville's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 11.9% of Pettisville's 311 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 88.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Pettisville ranks
Pettisville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (5th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pettisville ranks 31,252 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,351 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,204 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 1st national percentile, Pettisville rates low 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 Pettisville
With 88.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Pettisville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Pettisville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Pettisville's 31,252-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Pettisville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
