Wolfhurst, OH
Wolfhurst, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Wolfhurst at the 37th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 599 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Wolfhurst's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 38th percentile nationally.
Where Wolfhurst's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 86% of Wolfhurst's 599 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 14% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Wolfhurst compares
Wolfhurst's 80th-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 37th 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, Wolfhurst ranks 19,987 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,855 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 252 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Wolfhurst and the insurance market
Wolfhurst's moderate wildfire rating (37th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Wolfhurst (86% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
