Trinway, OH

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

Moderate
28thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Trinway at the 28th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 267 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Trinway at the 30th national percentile — 1 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

267Total buildings
18%Direct exposure
82%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

USFS puts 82% of Trinway's 267 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 18% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.

Trinway and the insurance market

Trinway's moderate rating (28th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

Hardening a home in Trinway

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Trinway (82% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.

Where Trinway's figures come from

Trinway's 28th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Trinway's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
