Spring Valley, OH
Spring Valley, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Spring Valley's 333 buildings earn a 18th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Spring Valley at the 20th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Spring Valley's buildings (73.3%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Spring Valley against the rest of the country
Compare Spring Valley's two percentiles: 48th within Ohio, only 18th nationally — a gap of 30 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Spring Valley ranks 25,788 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,739 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 659 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Spring Valley
Spring Valley's low rating (18th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 73.3% of Spring Valley's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Spring Valley's 18th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Spring Valley, see the exposure-zones guide.
