Dallas, WI
Dallas, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Dallas at the 15th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 296 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dallas's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 15th percentile nationally.
Where Dallas's buildings actually sit
296 buildings are counted in Dallas, and 44.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 14.2% rated Minimal.
How Dallas compares
Dallas's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (18th 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, Dallas ranks 26,743 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,747 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 667 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Dallas and the insurance market
At the 15th national percentile, Dallas rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Dallas
Because Direct exposure dominates in Dallas (44.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
