Remington, OH
Remington, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Remington sits at the 20th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 205 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Remington at the 22nd percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
Where Remington's buildings actually sit
70.2% of Remington's 205 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 144 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 29.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Remington compares
Within Ohio, Remington ranks higher (51st percentile) than it does nationally (20th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Remington ranks 25,128 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,669 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 620 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
Remington's moderate rating (20th 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
Remington's 70.2% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Remington's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Remington's 25,128-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Remington's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
