Greenville, OH
Greenville, OH's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greenville lands at the 4th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 6,932 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 5th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Where Greenville's buildings actually sit
Only 3.9% of Greenville's 6,932 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 96.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 6,932 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Greenville compares
Greenville's 22nd-percentile standing inside Ohio outpaces its 4th 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 30,208 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,496 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 987 of 1,264 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Ohio on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Greenville's low rating (4th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Greenville's 96.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greenville's 4th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Greenville, see the exposure-zones guide.
