Quincy, OH
Quincy wildfire risk explained
Quincy sits at the 4th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 417 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Quincy at the 4th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Quincy's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 28.1% of Quincy's 417 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 71.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Quincy ranks
Quincy'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, Quincy ranks 30,334 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,891 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,006 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Quincy and the insurance market
At the 4th national percentile, Quincy 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 Quincy
Even with 71.9% of Quincy 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 Quincy's figures come from
Quincy's 4th-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 Quincy's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
