Greenville, MO
Greenville, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greenville lands at the 62nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 247 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Greenville at the 64th percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
Greenville's building exposure, zone by zone
247 buildings are counted in Greenville, and 57.1% 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
Greenville scores 62nd nationally and 61st within Missouri — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenville ranks 12,005 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,237 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 418 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenville
Greenville's high rating (62nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Greenville's 57.1% 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.
