Clintonville, WI
How exposed is Clintonville to wildfire?
Clintonville sits at the 15th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,426 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Clintonville at the 15th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Clintonville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Clintonville's buildings (86.6% of 2,426) 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 Clintonville ranks
Clintonville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (17th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (15th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clintonville ranks 26,775 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,450 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 670 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Clintonville and the insurance market
At the 15th national percentile, Clintonville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Clintonville's 86.6% 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.
