Angelica, WI
Angelica wildfire risk explained
Angelica's 122 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Angelica at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Angelica's building exposure, zone by zone
63.9% of Angelica's 122 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 36.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Angelica ranks
There's little gap between Angelica's 4th national percentile and its 0th percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Angelica ranks 30,433 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,089 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 805 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Angelica
Angelica's low rating (4th 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
Angelica's 63.9% 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.
