Greenville, PA
How exposed is Greenville to wildfire?
Greenville sits at the 34th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,600 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (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 34th percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Greenville's buildings (90.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Greenville compares
There's little gap between Greenville's 34th national percentile and its 48th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenville ranks 20,782 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,099 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,044 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenville
At the 34th national percentile, Greenville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Greenville
Because 90.4% of Greenville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
