Green Bay, WI
Green Bay, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Green Bay at the 14th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 42,850 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Green Bay's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 15th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Green Bay rates 91.8% Minimal exposure against just 8.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 42,850 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 42,850 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Green Bay compares
Green Bay's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (15th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Green Bay ranks 26,997 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 220 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 684 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Green Bay
At the 14th national percentile, Green Bay rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Green Bay's 91.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
