Greensboro, GA
Greensboro wildfire risk explained
Greensboro sits at the 71st 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 1,483 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 Greensboro at the 74th percentile, close to its 71st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
70.1% of Greensboro's 1,483 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,039 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 29.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Greensboro against the rest of the country
Greensboro's risk sits at a similar level relative to Georgia (69th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (71st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greensboro ranks 9,071 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,235 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 210 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Greensboro's high rating (71st 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.
Hardening a home in Greensboro
Because Direct exposure dominates in Greensboro (70.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
