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

Moderate
28thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Twinsburg at the 28th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 6,726 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Twinsburg at the 30th percentile, close to its 28th-percentile risk score.

Twinsburg's building exposure, zone by zone

6,726Total buildings
28.9%Direct exposure
17.4%Indirect exposure
53.7%Minimal exposure

Only 28.9% of Twinsburg's 6,726 buildings carry Direct exposure and 17.4% carry Indirect; the remaining 53.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 6,726 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

Where Twinsburg ranks

Within Ohio, Twinsburg ranks higher (62nd percentile) than it does nationally (28th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Within Ohio alone, it ranks 486 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.

Twinsburg and the insurance market

Twinsburg's moderate wildfire rating (28th 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 Twinsburg

With 53.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Twinsburg gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
