Greenwich, KS
Greenwich wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greenwich at the 86th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 67 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greenwich's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 82nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 46.3% of Greenwich's 67 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 53.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Greenwich compares
Greenwich's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (87th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (86th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenwich ranks 4,320 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,382 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 97 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Greenwich's very high rating (86th 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.
Hardening a home in Greenwich
Greenwich's 53.7% 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.
Where Greenwich's figures come from
Greenwich's 86th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Greenwich's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
