Greenfield, MO
Greenfield, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Greenfield sits at the 70th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 877 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Greenfield at the 71st percentile, close to its 70th-percentile risk score.
Where Greenfield's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 59.9% of Greenfield's 877 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 40.1% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Greenfield ranks
There's little gap between Greenfield's 70th national percentile and its 82nd percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenfield ranks 9,549 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,934 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 196 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenfield
Greenfield's high rating (70th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Greenfield's 59.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greenfield's 70th-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 Greenfield, see the exposure-zones guide.
