Plymouth, WI
Plymouth, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Plymouth at the 21st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 3,652 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Plymouth at the 22nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Plymouth's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Plymouth's buildings (89.9% of 3,652) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Plymouth ranks
There's little gap between Plymouth's 21st national percentile and its 34th percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Plymouth ranks 24,948 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,583 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 537 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Plymouth
Plymouth's moderate rating (21st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 89.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Plymouth gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
