Springfield, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Springfield's 106 buildings earn a 24th-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, Springfield's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 23rd percentile nationally.
Where Springfield's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Springfield: 51.9% of its 106 buildings, versus 11.3% Indirect and 36.8% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Springfield ranks
Within Wisconsin, Springfield ranks higher (45th percentile) than it does nationally (24th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Springfield ranks 24,066 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,791 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 449 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
Springfield's moderate wildfire rating (24th 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 Springfield
Springfield's 51.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Springfield's figures come from
Springfield's 24th-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 Springfield's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
