Greeley, KS
How exposed is Greeley to wildfire?
Greeley's 245 buildings earn a 60th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Greeley at the 60th percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Greeley's building exposure, zone by zone
68.2% of Greeley's 245 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 31.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Greeley compares
Greeley's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (52nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (60th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greeley ranks 12,697 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,294 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 346 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greeley
Greeley's elevated wildfire rating (60th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 68.2% of Greeley'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.
More on how this number was built
Greeley's 60th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Greeley, see the exposure-zones guide.
