Stoutsville, OH
Stoutsville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Stoutsville lands at the 11th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 460 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Stoutsville at the 12th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Stoutsville's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 49.6% of Stoutsville's 460 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 50.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Stoutsville against the rest of the country
Stoutsville's 33rd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 11th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stoutsville ranks 28,118 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,063 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 843 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Stoutsville
At the 11th national percentile, Stoutsville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 50.4% of Stoutsville 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.
