Raymond, OH
How exposed is Raymond to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Raymond at the 5th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 229 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Raymond at the 5th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Raymond's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Raymond: 59% of its 229 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 41.1% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Raymond ranks
Raymond's 25th-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, Raymond ranks 29,863 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,828 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 952 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Raymond
Raymond'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Raymond (59%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
