Greenville, NH
Greenville, NH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greenville at the 26th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 459 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greenville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
Greenville's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Greenville's 459 counted buildings, 55.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Greenville ranks
Greenville's 84th-percentile standing inside New Hampshire outpaces its 26th 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, Greenville ranks 23,198 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,081 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Hampshire alone, it ranks 17 of 100 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Hampshire on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenville
Greenville's moderate wildfire rating (26th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Greenville's 55.3% 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.
