Ashwaubenon, WI
Ashwaubenon wildfire risk explained
Ashwaubenon sits at the 16th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 6,971 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ashwaubenon at the 17th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 92.5% of Ashwaubenon's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 7.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 6,971 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Ashwaubenon compares
There's little gap between Ashwaubenon's 16th national percentile and its 19th percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ashwaubenon ranks 26,587 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,480 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 656 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Ashwaubenon and the insurance market
At the 16th national percentile, Ashwaubenon rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Ashwaubenon
With 92.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Ashwaubenon gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
