Greensboro, IN
How exposed is Greensboro to wildfire?
Greensboro's 133 buildings earn a 16th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greensboro at the 16th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Greensboro: 74.4% of its 133 buildings, versus 25.6% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Greensboro against the rest of the country
Within Indiana, Greensboro ranks higher (71st percentile) than it does nationally (16th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greensboro ranks 26,374 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,576 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 285 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Greensboro's low rating (16th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Greensboro
Because Direct exposure dominates in Greensboro (74.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
