Greeley Hill, CA
Greeley Hill, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greeley Hill at the 100th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,231 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greeley Hill's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
Where Greeley Hill's buildings actually sit
100% of Greeley Hill's 1,231 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,231 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Greeley Hill against the rest of the country
Greeley Hill's risk sits at a similar level relative to California (94th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (100th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within California alone, it ranks 94 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greeley Hill
Greeley Hill sits in California, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. California's FAIR Plan, the state's insurer of last resort, ended 2025 with 668,609 residential policies after adding 21,859 in Q4 alone — the kind of market shift a 100th-percentile score like Greeley Hill's can end up mattering for.

What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of Greeley Hill in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greeley Hill's 100th-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 Greeley Hill, see the exposure-zones guide.
