South Greeley, WY
South Greeley wildfire risk explained
South Greeley's 2,394 buildings earn a 83rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks South Greeley at the 83rd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where South Greeley's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in South Greeley (84.4% of 2,394 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 15.2% sit in the Direct zone.
South Greeley against the rest of the country
South Greeley's 83rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 63rd ranking inside Wyoming does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 20 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, South Greeley ranks 5,249 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,526 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 71 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in South Greeley
South Greeley's very high rating (83rd 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 South Greeley
Because 84.4% of South Greeley'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.
Where South Greeley's figures come from
South Greeley's 83rd-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 South Greeley's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
