Bonduel, WI
Bonduel, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Bonduel lands at the 12th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 816 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Bonduel's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 84.6% of Bonduel's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 15.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Bonduel against the rest of the country
Bonduel's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (9th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (12th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bonduel ranks 27,879 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,496 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 735 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Bonduel and the insurance market
Bonduel's low rating (12th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Bonduel's 84.6% 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.
