Village Green-Green Ridge, PA
How exposed is Village Green-Green Ridge to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Village Green-Green Ridge lands at the 20th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 3,240 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Village Green-Green Ridge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 20th percentile nationally.
Where Village Green-Green Ridge's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 85.4% of Village Green-Green Ridge's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 14.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Hardening a home in Village Green-Green Ridge
Even with 85.4% of Village Green-Green Ridge 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.
