Wayne, OH
How exposed is Wayne to wildfire?
Wayne's 513 buildings earn a 1st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wayne at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Wayne's building exposure, zone by zone
Wayne rates 92.8% Minimal exposure against just 7.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 513 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Wayne ranks
Wayne's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (9th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wayne ranks 31,093 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,134 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,159 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Wayne's low rating (1st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Wayne's 92.8% 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.
