Reno Beach, OH
Reno Beach wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Reno Beach at the 11th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 602 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Reno Beach at the 11th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Reno Beach's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Reno Beach (77.9% of 602 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 7.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Reno Beach ranks
Compare Reno Beach's two percentiles: 35th within Ohio, only 11th nationally — a gap of 23 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reno Beach ranks 27,966 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,816 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 828 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Reno Beach and the insurance market
Reno Beach's low rating (11th 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 77.9% of Reno Beach'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.
More on how this number was built
Reno Beach's 11th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Reno Beach, see the exposure-zones guide.
