Green Spring's building exposure, zone by zone

Where Green Spring ranks
Green Spring scores 52nd nationally and 40th within West Virginia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Green Spring ranks 15,145 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,778 by building count (1 is largest). Within West Virginia alone, it ranks 260 of 429 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for West Virginia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Green Spring's elevated wildfire rating (52nd 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.
