Stockport, OH
How exposed is Stockport to wildfire?
USFS scores Stockport at the 40th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 338 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Stockport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 41st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 77.2% of Stockport's 338 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 22.8% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Stockport against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Stockport ranks higher (87th percentile) than it does nationally (40th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stockport ranks 18,978 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,640 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 170 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
Stockport's moderate rating (40th 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
Stockport's 77.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
