Dickeyville, WI
How exposed is Dickeyville to wildfire?
Dickeyville sits at the 20th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 501 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dickeyville at the 21st percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
Where Dickeyville's buildings actually sit
Most of Dickeyville's buildings (96.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Dickeyville against the rest of the country
Dickeyville scores 20th nationally and 31st 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, Dickeyville ranks 25,232 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,345 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 558 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dickeyville
Dickeyville's low wildfire rating (20th 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 Dickeyville
Because 96.6% of Dickeyville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Dickeyville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Dickeyville's 25,232-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Dickeyville's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
