Hollandale, WI
How exposed is Hollandale to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hollandale lands at the 40th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 204 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hollandale at the 42nd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 78.9% of Hollandale's 204 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 21.1% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Hollandale compares
Compare Hollandale's two percentiles: 91st within Wisconsin, only 40th nationally — a gap of 51 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hollandale ranks 18,928 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,713 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 73 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Hollandale and the insurance market
Hollandale's moderate wildfire rating (40th 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 Hollandale
Because 78.9% of Hollandale'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.
