Allouez, WI
Allouez wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Allouez at the 12th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 6,146 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Allouez at the 13th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Allouez's building exposure, zone by zone
89.2% of Allouez's 6,146 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 10.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 6,146 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Allouez against the rest of the country
Allouez's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (9th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (12th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Allouez ranks 27,847 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,818 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 733 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Allouez
Allouez's low rating (12th 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
Allouez's 89.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Allouez's figures come from
Allouez's 12th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Allouez's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
