Yorkshire, OH
Yorkshire wildfire risk explained
Yorkshire's 90 buildings earn a 0th-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, Yorkshire's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Yorkshire's buildings (81.1% of 90) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Yorkshire compares
Yorkshire's risk sits at a similar level relative to Ohio (2nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (0th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Yorkshire ranks 31,410 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,507 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 1,240 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Yorkshire
Yorkshire's low rating (0th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 81.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Yorkshire gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
