Streetsboro, OH
How exposed is Streetsboro to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Streetsboro lands at the 36th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 6,849 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Streetsboro's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 37th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 60% of Streetsboro's 6,849 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 37.9% Direct and 2.1% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to. At 6,849 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Streetsboro compares
Compare Streetsboro's two percentiles: 79th within Ohio, only 36th nationally — a gap of 43 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Streetsboro ranks 20,271 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,528 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 276 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
Streetsboro's moderate rating (36th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Streetsboro
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Streetsboro (60% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
