Warren, OH
How exposed is Warren to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Warren lands at the 30th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 22,057 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 Warren at the 31st percentile, close to its 30th-percentile risk score.
Where Warren's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 90.1% of Warren's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 8.3% Direct and 1.6% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 22,057 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Warren against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Warren ranks higher (66th percentile) than it does nationally (30th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warren ranks 22,039 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 617 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 435 of 1,264 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Warren
At the 30th national percentile, Warren rates moderate 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
Warren's 90.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
