Stony Ridge, OH
Stony Ridge, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Stony Ridge's 376 buildings earn a 3rd-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 Stony Ridge at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Stony Ridge's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 76.1% of Stony Ridge's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 23.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Stony Ridge compares
There's little gap between Stony Ridge's 3rd national percentile and its 16th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stony Ridge ranks 30,685 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,745 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,060 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Stony Ridge
At the 3rd national percentile, Stony Ridge rates low 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 76.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Stony Ridge gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Stony Ridge's figures come from
Stony Ridge's 3rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Stony Ridge's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
