Tiro, OH
How exposed is Tiro to wildfire?
Tiro sits at the 1st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 174 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Tiro at the 2nd 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
Most of Tiro's buildings (75.3% of 174) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Tiro ranks
Tiro scores 1st nationally and 9th within Ohio — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tiro ranks 31,092 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,865 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,158 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tiro
Tiro's low wildfire rating (1st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 75.3% of Tiro 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.
Where Tiro's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Tiro's 31,092-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Tiro's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
