Seven Hills, OH
Seven Hills wildfire risk explained
Seven Hills's 5,805 buildings earn a 25th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Seven Hills at the 26th percentile, close to its 25th-percentile risk score.
Where Seven Hills's buildings actually sit
Only 18.3% of Seven Hills's 5,805 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 81.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,805 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

Seven Hills and the insurance market
Seven Hills's moderate wildfire rating (25th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Seven Hills's 81.7% 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.
