Where Yorkville ranks

Yorkville's 81st-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, Yorkville ranks 19,833 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,561 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 240 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

Yorkville'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.

Hardening a home in Yorkville

Because 98% of Yorkville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.

Where Yorkville's figures come from

Yorkville's 37th-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 Yorkville's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
