Thiensville, WI
Thiensville, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Thiensville at the 25th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,276 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Thiensville at the 27th percentile, close to its 25th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Thiensville rates 49.1% Minimal exposure against just 18.7% Direct and 32.1% Indirect — of 1,276 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Shopping for coverage in Thiensville
At the 25th national percentile, Thiensville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 49.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Thiensville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
