Rogers, OH
Rogers wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rogers lands at the 41st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 182 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rogers at the 42nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rogers's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Rogers (55% of 182 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 45.1% sit in the Direct zone.
How Rogers compares
Rogers's 90th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 41st 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, Rogers ranks 18,600 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,557 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 128 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rogers
Rogers's elevated rating (41st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Rogers's 55% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
