Rocky Ridge, OH
Rocky Ridge, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rocky Ridge's 317 buildings earn a 1st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rocky Ridge at the 1st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
80.1% of Rocky Ridge's 317 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 19.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Rocky Ridge compares
There's little gap between Rocky Ridge's 1st national percentile and its 7th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rocky Ridge ranks 31,157 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,187 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,177 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rocky Ridge
At the 1st national percentile, Rocky Ridge rates low 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
Even with 80.1% of Rocky Ridge 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.
More on how this number was built
Rocky Ridge's 1st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Rocky Ridge, see the exposure-zones guide.
