Trenton, OH
Trenton, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Trenton at the 17th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 4,780 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Trenton at the 19th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Trenton's building exposure, zone by zone
Trenton rates 64.7% Minimal exposure against just 10.4% Direct and 24.9% Indirect — of 4,780 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Trenton ranks
Trenton's 47th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 17th 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, Trenton ranks 26,042 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,567 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 674 of 1,264 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Trenton
Trenton's low wildfire rating (17th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Trenton's 64.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
