Greensboro, FL
How exposed is Greensboro to wildfire?
Greensboro's 375 buildings earn a 75th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greensboro at the 75th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Greensboro's buildings actually sit
82.4% of Greensboro's 375 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 309 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 17.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Greensboro against the rest of the country
Greensboro ranks lower within Florida (35th percentile statewide) than its 75th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greensboro ranks 8,000 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,757 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 617 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Greensboro's 75th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Greensboro
Greensboro's 82.4% 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.
