Greenview, CA
Greenview wildfire risk explained
Greenview's 218 buildings earn a 99th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greenview's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 99th percentile nationally.
Greenview's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Greenview's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 218 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Greenview against the rest of the country
Greenview scores 99th nationally and 91st within California — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenview ranks 244 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,183 by building count (1 is largest). Within California alone, it ranks 135 of 1,570 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for California on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Greenview's 99th-percentile score lands in California, the only two states requiring a wildfire disclosure at sale. California's surplus-lines homeowners market passed 300,000 policies for the first time in 2025, driven by carriers pulling back from wildfire-exposed areas statewide. The disclosure-law guide covers what it requires.
What would actually reduce this score
Greenview's 100% 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.
