Greybull, WY
How exposed is Greybull to wildfire?
USFS scores Greybull at the 55th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,220 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greybull at the 52nd national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Greybull's buildings (97.7%) 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 Greybull compares
Inside Wyoming, Greybull sits at just the 12th percentile even though it scores 55th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greybull ranks 14,232 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,537 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 170 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Greybull's elevated wildfire rating (55th 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 Greybull
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Greybull (97.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Greybull's 55th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Greybull, see the exposure-zones guide.
