Skyline Acres, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
12thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Skyline Acres at the 12th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 637 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Skyline Acres's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.

Where Skyline Acres's buildings actually sit

637Total buildings
20.6%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
79.4%Minimal exposure

Most of Skyline Acres's buildings (79.4% of 637) 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.

Skyline Acres against the rest of the country

Compare Skyline Acres's two percentiles: 37th within Ohio, only 12th nationally — a gap of 25 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Skyline Acres ranks 27,617 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,385 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 795 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

At the 12th national percentile, Skyline Acres rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Hardening a home in Skyline Acres

Skyline Acres's 79.4% 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.
