Greenville, WI
How exposed is Greenville to wildfire?
USFS scores Greenville at the 34th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 6,167 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (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 34th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
57.6% of Greenville's 6,167 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 37.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 6,167 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Greenville ranks
Greenville's 77th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 34th 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 20,944 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,812 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 189 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenville
Greenville's moderate wildfire rating (34th 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.
Hardening a home in Greenville
With 57.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Greenville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
