Deer Park, WI
How exposed is Deer Park to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Deer Park lands at the 27th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 174 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Deer Park at the 26th percentile, close to its 27th-percentile risk score.
Deer Park's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Deer Park's 174 counted buildings, 59.8% carry Direct exposure and only 40.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Deer Park ranks
Deer Park's 53rd-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 27th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Deer Park ranks 23,180 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,875 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 379 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Deer Park's moderate wildfire rating (27th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 59.8% of Deer Park in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
