Greenacres, CA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
60thpercentile nationally

Greenacres sits at the 60th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,269 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenacres at the 59th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Greenacres's building exposure, zone by zone

3,269Total buildings
11.9%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
88.1%Minimal exposure

Most of Greenacres's buildings (88.1% of 3,269) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Where Greenacres ranks

Inside California, Greenacres sits at just the 18th percentile even though it scores 60th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenacres ranks 12,754 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,080 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 1,292 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

Because Greenacres is in California, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. The state's FAIR Plan alone carried 668,609 policies by the end of 2025. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.

Hardening a home in Greenacres

Greenacres's 88.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
