Willshire, OH
Willshire, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Willshire's 325 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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Willshire's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
Where Willshire's buildings actually sit
92.9% of Willshire's 325 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 7.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Willshire ranks
There's little gap between Willshire's 1st national percentile and its 8th percentile inside Ohio, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Willshire ranks 31,094 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,969 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,160 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
Willshire'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
With 92.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Willshire gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Willshire's figures come from
Willshire's 1st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Willshire's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
