Plymouth, OH
Plymouth, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Plymouth's 1,079 buildings earn a 6th-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 Plymouth at the 6th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,079 buildings are counted in Plymouth, and 59.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 38.3% in Direct exposure or the 2% rated Minimal.
Plymouth against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Plymouth ranks higher (26th percentile) than it does nationally (6th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Plymouth ranks 29,642 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,409 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 937 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
Plymouth's low rating (6th 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
Because 59.7% of Plymouth's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Plymouth's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Plymouth's 29,642-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Plymouth's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
