St. Henry, OH
St. Henry wildfire risk explained
St. Henry sits at the 1st 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 1,188 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, St. Henry's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
Where St. Henry's buildings actually sit
Most of St. Henry's buildings (91.8% of 1,188) 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.
St. Henry against the rest of the country
St. Henry's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (3rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, St. Henry ranks 31,346 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,722 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,223 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
St. Henry and the insurance market
St. Henry's low rating (1st 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 St. Henry
With 91.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, St. Henry gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
