Sawyerwood, OH
Sawyerwood wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Sawyerwood lands at the 22nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,021 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Sawyerwood at the 24th percentile, close to its 22nd-percentile risk score.
Where Sawyerwood's buildings actually sit
Most of Sawyerwood's buildings (84.3% of 1,021) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Sawyerwood compares
Sawyerwood's 54th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 22nd 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, Sawyerwood ranks 24,500 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,793 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 586 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Sawyerwood
Sawyerwood's moderate rating (22nd 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
Sawyerwood's 84.3% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Sawyerwood's 22nd-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 Sawyerwood, see the exposure-zones guide.
