Greensburg, IN
How exposed is Greensburg to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greensburg at the 7th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 5,972 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greensburg at the 7th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Greensburg's buildings actually sit
Greensburg rates 93.2% Minimal exposure against just 6.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 5,972 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 5,972 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Greensburg against the rest of the country
Greensburg's 45th-percentile standing inside Indiana outpaces its 7th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greensburg ranks 29,399 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,887 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 534 of 967 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Indiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greensburg
At the 7th national percentile, Greensburg rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Greensburg gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Greensburg's 7th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Greensburg, see the exposure-zones guide.
