Stockdale, OH
Stockdale wildfire risk explained
Stockdale's 129 buildings earn a 51st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Stockdale at the 53rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Stockdale's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Stockdale's 129 counted buildings, 87.6% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Stockdale ranks

Stockdale and the insurance market
At the 51st national percentile, Stockdale rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 87.6% of Stockdale in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
