Tippecanoe, OH
Tippecanoe, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Tippecanoe at the 42nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 94 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tippecanoe's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
Where Tippecanoe's buildings actually sit
94 buildings are counted in Tippecanoe, and 73.4% 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.
Tippecanoe against the rest of the country
Tippecanoe's 93rd-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, Tippecanoe ranks 18,283 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,330 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 96 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Tippecanoe and the insurance market
Tippecanoe'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Tippecanoe (73.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
