Greenwood, WI
How exposed is Greenwood to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Greenwood lands at the 19th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 633 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greenwood's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 19th percentile nationally.
Greenwood's building exposure, zone by zone
633 buildings are counted in Greenwood, and 47.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 8.7% rated Minimal.
Greenwood against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Greenwood's 19th national percentile and its 27th percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenwood ranks 25,577 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,435 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 590 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 19th national percentile, Greenwood rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Greenwood
With 47.1% of Greenwood in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Greenwood's figures come from
Greenwood's 19th-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 Greenwood's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
