Shreve, OH
Shreve wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Shreve at the 30th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 855 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Shreve at the 31st percentile, close to its 30th-percentile risk score.
Shreve's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Shreve's buildings (56.4% of 855) 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 Shreve compares
Within Ohio, Shreve ranks higher (64th percentile) than it does nationally (30th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Shreve ranks 22,199 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,129 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 454 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
Shreve's moderate wildfire rating (30th 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.
Hardening a home in Shreve
Shreve's 56.4% 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.
Where Shreve's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Shreve's 22,199-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Shreve's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
