Stratton wildfire risk explained

Where Stratton's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 91% of Stratton's 255 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 9% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Stratton compares
Stratton's 92nd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 42nd 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, Stratton ranks 18,347 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,988 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 100 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Stratton
Stratton's elevated rating (42nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Stratton (91% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
