Vienna Center, OH
How exposed is Vienna Center to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Vienna Center lands at the 35th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 479 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Vienna Center at the 36th percentile, close to its 35th-percentile risk score.
Where Vienna Center's buildings actually sit
479 buildings are counted in Vienna Center, and 83.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Vienna Center ranks

What this risk score means for insurance
Vienna Center's moderate rating (35th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Vienna Center's 83.9% 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.
