Reno, OH
Reno, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Reno's 683 buildings earn a 38th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Reno's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 39th percentile nationally.
Reno's building exposure, zone by zone
683 buildings are counted in Reno, and 75.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 23.4% in Direct exposure or the 1.5% rated Minimal.
Reno against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Reno ranks higher (83rd percentile) than it does nationally (38th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reno ranks 19,579 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,832 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 217 of 1,264 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Reno
At the 38th national percentile, Reno rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Reno (75.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Reno's figures come from
Reno's 38th-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 Reno's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
