Greenwich, OH
How exposed is Greenwich to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greenwich lands at the 8th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 901 buildings, not the land around them. (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 8th percentile nationally.
Greenwich's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Greenwich's buildings (67.6% of 901) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Greenwich against the rest of the country
Within Ohio, Greenwich ranks higher (28th percentile) than it does nationally (8th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenwich ranks 29,039 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,717 by building count (1 is largest). Within Ohio alone, it ranks 901 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
Greenwich's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Greenwich
Even with 67.6% of Greenwich outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greenwich's 8th-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 Greenwich, see the exposure-zones guide.
