Greenville, DE
Greenville wildfire risk explained
Greenville's 1,039 buildings earn a 25th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenville at the 24th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Greenville's buildings actually sit
1,039 buildings are counted in Greenville, and 68.2% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Greenville compares
There's little gap between Greenville's 25th national percentile and its 10th percentile inside Delaware, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenville ranks 23,691 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,660 by building count (1 is largest). Within Delaware alone, it ranks 71 of 79 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Delaware on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenville
Greenville's moderate rating (25th 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 Greenville
With 68.2% of Greenville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Greenville's 23,691-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Greenville, see the exposure-zones guide.
