Greenleaf, ID
How exposed is Greenleaf to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greenleaf lands at the 82nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 438 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greenleaf's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 83rd percentile nationally.
Where Greenleaf's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Greenleaf: 58.9% of its 438 buildings, versus 41.1% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Greenleaf ranks
Greenleaf's 82nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 48th ranking inside Idaho does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 33 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenleaf ranks 5,829 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,500 by building count (1 is largest). Within Idaho alone, it ranks 121 of 232 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Idaho on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenleaf
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Greenleaf carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 58.9% of Greenleaf in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
