Cornucopia, WI
Cornucopia, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Cornucopia's 263 buildings earn a 20th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Cornucopia at the 20th percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
Where Cornucopia's buildings actually sit
71.9% of Cornucopia's 263 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 189 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 26.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 1.5% are Minimal.
Where Cornucopia ranks
Cornucopia scores 20th nationally and 29th 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, Cornucopia ranks 25,387 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,765 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 573 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Cornucopia and the insurance market
Cornucopia's low rating (20th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Cornucopia (71.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Cornucopia's 25,387-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Cornucopia, see the exposure-zones guide.
