Bloomfield, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
27thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Bloomfield at the 27th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 2,914 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Bloomfield's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

2,914Total buildings
42.9%Direct exposure
11%Indirect exposure
46.2%Minimal exposure

Most of Bloomfield's buildings (46.2% of 2,914) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Where Bloomfield ranks

Within Wisconsin, Bloomfield ranks higher (54th percentile) than it does nationally (27th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bloomfield ranks 23,085 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,564 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 368 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

At the 27th national percentile, Bloomfield rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

What would actually reduce this score

Bloomfield's 46.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.

Where Bloomfield's figures come from

Bloomfield's 27th-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 Bloomfield's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
