Greenbush, WI
Greenbush, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greenbush lands at the 36th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 127 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenbush at the 36th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Greenbush's building exposure, zone by zone
127 buildings are counted in Greenbush, and 59.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Greenbush against the rest of the country
Within Wisconsin, Greenbush ranks higher (84th percentile) than it does nationally (36th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenbush ranks 20,220 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,878 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 127 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenbush
At the 36th national percentile, Greenbush rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Greenbush (59.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greenbush's 36th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Greenbush, see the exposure-zones guide.
