Arcadia, WI
How exposed is Arcadia to wildfire?
Arcadia's 1,343 buildings earn a 21st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Arcadia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Where Arcadia's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Arcadia (91.4% of 1,343 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 8.5% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Arcadia ranks
Arcadia scores 21st nationally and 34th within Wisconsin — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Arcadia ranks 24,912 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,864 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 528 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Arcadia
Arcadia's moderate wildfire rating (21st 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Arcadia's 91.4% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Arcadia's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Arcadia's 24,912-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Arcadia's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
