Greenfields, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
12thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Greenfields at the 12th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 541 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Greenfields at the 13th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.

Greenfields's building exposure, zone by zone

541Total buildings
34.2%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
65.8%Minimal exposure

Greenfields rates 65.8% Minimal exposure against just 34.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 541 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

How Greenfields compares

Greenfields scores 12th nationally and 10th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenfields ranks 27,904 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,711 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,792 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Greenfields

Greenfields's low wildfire rating (12th 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.

Hardening a home in Greenfields

Even with 65.8% of Greenfields outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.

Where Greenfields's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind Greenfields's 27,904-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Greenfields's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
