Allens Grove, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Allens Grove at the 6th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 141 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Allens Grove at the 6th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
