Woodville, OH
How exposed is Woodville to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Woodville at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,097 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodville at the 3rd percentile, close to its 3rd-percentile risk score.
Where Woodville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 95.3% of Woodville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 4.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Woodville compares
Within Ohio, Woodville ranks higher (18th percentile) than it does nationally (3rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodville ranks 30,559 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,300 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,036 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Woodville and the insurance market
Woodville's low wildfire rating (3rd 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.
Hardening a home in Woodville
Even with 95.3% of Woodville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
