Valleyview, OH
Valleyview, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Valleyview at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 371 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Valleyview at the 6th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Valleyview's buildings actually sit
Valleyview rates 98.1% Minimal exposure against just 1.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 371 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Valleyview compares
Valleyview's 23rd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 4th 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, Valleyview ranks 30,149 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,844 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 980 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Valleyview and the insurance market
At the 4th national percentile, Valleyview rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 98.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Valleyview gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
