Trimble, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
42ndpercentile nationally

USFS scores Trimble at the 42nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 270 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Trimble at the 43rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Trimble's building exposure, zone by zone

270Total buildings
59.3%Direct exposure
40.7%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

59.3% of Trimble's 270 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 160 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 40.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.

Trimble against the rest of the country

Within Ohio, Trimble ranks higher (93rd percentile) than it does nationally (42nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trimble ranks 18,257 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,514 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 90 of 1,264 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Trimble

Trimble's elevated wildfire rating (42nd 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.

Hardening a home in Trimble

Trimble's 59.3% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.

Trimble's 42nd-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 Trimble, see the exposure-zones guide.
