Greenfield, TN
Greenfield wildfire risk explained
Greenfield sits at the 33rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,310 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenfield at the 34th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Greenfield's building exposure, zone by zone
1,310 buildings are counted in Greenfield, and 65.7% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 1.5% rated Minimal.
Greenfield against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Greenfield's 33rd national percentile and its 23rd percentile inside Tennessee, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenfield ranks 21,034 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,025 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 389 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Greenfield and the insurance market
Greenfield's moderate rating (33rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Greenfield's 65.7% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Greenfield's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Greenfield's 21,034-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Greenfield's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
