Springdale, OH
Springdale wildfire risk explained
Springdale's 3,562 buildings earn a 12th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Springdale's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
85.9% of Springdale's 3,562 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 14.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Springdale against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Springdale ranks higher (36th percentile) than it does nationally (12th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Springdale ranks 27,872 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,701 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 818 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Springdale
Springdale's low rating (12th 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
Even with 85.9% of Springdale 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.
More on how this number was built
Springdale's 12th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Springdale, see the exposure-zones guide.
