Tilleda, WI
Tilleda wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Tilleda lands at the 22nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 98 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tilleda's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 23rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Tilleda: 71.4% of its 98 buildings, versus 28.6% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Tilleda against the rest of the country
Within Wisconsin, Tilleda ranks higher (39th percentile) than it does nationally (22nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tilleda ranks 24,539 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,157 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 496 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Tilleda and the insurance market
Tilleda's moderate rating (22nd 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 Tilleda (71.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Tilleda's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Tilleda's 24,539-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Tilleda's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
