Coleman, WI
How exposed is Coleman to wildfire?
Coleman's 487 buildings earn a 16th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Coleman's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Coleman's buildings (66.3% of 487) 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 Coleman ranks
Coleman scores 16th nationally and 20th 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, Coleman ranks 26,458 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,594 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 648 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Coleman and the insurance market
Coleman's low wildfire rating (16th 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.
Hardening a home in Coleman
With 66.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Coleman gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Coleman's 16th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Coleman, see the exposure-zones guide.
