Greenville, IN
Greenville, IN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greenville at the 25th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 669 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenville at the 26th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Greenville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 65.5% of Greenville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 34.5% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 438 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Greenville compares
Compare Greenville's two percentiles: 91st within Indiana, only 25th nationally — a gap of 66 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenville ranks 23,694 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,971 by building count (1 is largest). Within Indiana alone, it ranks 93 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
Greenville's moderate wildfire rating (25th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Greenville (65.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greenville's 25th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Greenville, see the exposure-zones guide.
