Sullivan, OH
How exposed is Sullivan to wildfire?
Sullivan's 569 buildings earn a 30th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sullivan at the 31st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
569 buildings are counted in Sullivan, and 77.7% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Sullivan against the rest of the country
Sullivan's 66th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 30th 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, Sullivan ranks 21,977 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,271 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 428 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Sullivan and the insurance market
At the 30th national percentile, Sullivan rates moderate 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Sullivan (77.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Sullivan's 30th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Sullivan, see the exposure-zones guide.
