East Troy, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
East Troy's 1,671 buildings earn a 26th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts East Troy at the 27th percentile, close to its 26th-percentile risk score.
Where East Troy's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in East Troy (67.9% of 1,671 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 25.1% sit in the Direct zone.

What this risk score means for insurance
At the 26th national percentile, East Troy rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in East Troy (67.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where East Troy's figures come from
East Troy's 26th-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 East Troy's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
