Wyoming, OH
Wyoming, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Wyoming at the 12th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 3,626 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wyoming at the 14th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
Wyoming's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 65.8% of Wyoming's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 34.2% Minimal share — a profile where 2,385 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Wyoming against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Wyoming ranks higher (37th percentile) than it does nationally (12th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wyoming ranks 27,682 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,626 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 798 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Wyoming and the insurance market
At the 12th national percentile, Wyoming rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Wyoming (65.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Wyoming's 12th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Wyoming, see the exposure-zones guide.
