Pleasant Hill, OH
Pleasant Hill, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Pleasant Hill lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 730 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Pleasant Hill's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
Where Pleasant Hill's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 90.7% of Pleasant Hill's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 9.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Pleasant Hill against the rest of the country
Pleasant Hill's 24th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 5th 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, Pleasant Hill ranks 29,958 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,338 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 958 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Pleasant Hill
Pleasant Hill's low rating (5th 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
Pleasant Hill's 90.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Pleasant Hill's figures come from
Pleasant Hill's 5th-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 Pleasant Hill's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
