Cameron, WI
Cameron, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Cameron sits at the 12th 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 995 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cameron's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 12th percentile nationally.
Where Cameron's buildings actually sit
44.2% of Cameron's 995 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 30.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Cameron compares
Cameron's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (11th 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, Cameron ranks 27,626 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,977 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 718 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
Cameron's low wildfire rating (12th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 44.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Cameron gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
