Denmark, WI
Denmark, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Denmark at the 8th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,217 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Denmark's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
Denmark's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 82.3% of Denmark's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 17.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Denmark against the rest of the country
Denmark scores 8th nationally and 4th 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, Denmark ranks 28,951 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,550 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 775 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Denmark
Denmark's low wildfire rating (8th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 82.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Denmark gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Denmark's figures come from
Denmark's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Denmark's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
