Uhrichsville, OH
How exposed is Uhrichsville to wildfire?
USFS scores Uhrichsville at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 2,754 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Uhrichsville at the 38th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Uhrichsville's buildings actually sit
90.1% of Uhrichsville's 2,754 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 9.9% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
