Stockholm, WI
Stockholm wildfire risk explained
Stockholm's 161 buildings earn a 25th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Stockholm at the 24th percentile, close to its 25th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
65.2% of Stockholm's 161 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 105 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 32.3% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 2.5% are Minimal.
Stockholm against the rest of the country
Within Wisconsin, Stockholm ranks higher (48th percentile) than it does nationally (25th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stockholm ranks 23,750 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,415 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 421 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
Stockholm's moderate wildfire rating (25th 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 Stockholm
With 65.2% of Stockholm 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.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Stockholm's 23,750-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Stockholm, see the exposure-zones guide.
