Sharonville, OH
Sharonville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Sharonville sits at the 11th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 5,781 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Sharonville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
Sharonville's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 21.1% of Sharonville's 5,781 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 78.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,781 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Sharonville against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Sharonville ranks higher (35th percentile) than it does nationally (11th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sharonville ranks 27,935 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,992 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 825 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Sharonville's low rating (11th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Sharonville
Even with 78.9% of Sharonville 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.
