Middle Village, WI
Middle Village, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Middle Village's 96 buildings earn a 31st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Middle Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 32nd percentile nationally.
Middle Village's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Middle Village's 96 counted buildings, 52.1% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Middle Village against the rest of the country
Within Wisconsin, Middle Village ranks higher (67th percentile) than it does nationally (31st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Middle Village ranks 21,796 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,252 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 267 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
Middle Village's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Middle Village (52.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
