Greenleaf, WI
How exposed is Greenleaf to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greenleaf at the 9th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 357 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenleaf at the 9th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Greenleaf's buildings actually sit
Only 16.3% of Greenleaf's 357 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 83.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Greenleaf against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Greenleaf's 9th national percentile and its 5th percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenleaf ranks 28,794 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,148 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 772 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenleaf
Greenleaf's low wildfire rating (9th 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
Even with 83.8% of Greenleaf outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Greenleaf's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Greenleaf's 28,794-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Greenleaf's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
