Woodman, WI
Woodman, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Woodman at the 29th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 92 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodman at the 31st percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
Where Woodman's buildings actually sit
54.4% of Woodman's 92 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 45.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Woodman ranks
Within Wisconsin, Woodman ranks higher (63rd percentile) than it does nationally (29th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodman ranks 22,268 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,431 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 301 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodman
Woodman's moderate rating (29th 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 54.4% of Woodman's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Woodman's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Woodman's 22,268-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Woodman's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
