Boyceville, WI
Boyceville, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Boyceville at the 23rd national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 691 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Boyceville at the 24th national percentile — 0 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
Indirect exposure is dominant in Boyceville (57.6% of 691 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 42.1% sit in the Direct zone.

Shopping for coverage in Boyceville
Boyceville's moderate rating (23rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Boyceville
