Cedar Grove, WI
How exposed is Cedar Grove to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Cedar Grove lands at the 7th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,016 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cedar Grove's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
Cedar Grove's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Cedar Grove's buildings (83.6% of 1,016) 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.
How Cedar Grove compares
There's little gap between Cedar Grove's 7th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cedar Grove ranks 29,456 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,833 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 793 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cedar Grove
At the 7th national percentile, Cedar Grove rates low 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
Even with 83.6% of Cedar Grove 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.
