Pitsburg, OH
Pitsburg, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Pitsburg lands at the 1st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 268 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Pitsburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 12.3% of Pitsburg's 268 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 87.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
