Allenton, WI
How exposed is Allenton to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Allenton lands at the 31st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 416 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Allenton at the 32nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Allenton's buildings actually sit
76.7% of Allenton's 416 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 23.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Allenton against the rest of the country
Allenton's 67th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 31st national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Allenton ranks 21,794 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,918 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 265 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
Allenton's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 76.7% of Allenton 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.
