Yorkville, OH
How exposed is Yorkville to wildfire?
Yorkville's 551 buildings earn a 37th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Yorkville at the 38th percentile, close to its 37th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
551 buildings are counted in Yorkville, and 98% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
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.
