Woodville, WI
How exposed is Woodville to wildfire?
USFS scores Woodville at the 25th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 614 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Woodville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 25th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 53.3% of Woodville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 46.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Woodville against the rest of the country
Within Wisconsin, Woodville ranks higher (49th 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, Woodville ranks 23,688 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,650 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 414 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodville
Woodville'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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 53.3% of Woodville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
