Easton, WI
Easton, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Easton lands at the 34th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 129 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Easton at the 33rd percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
Where Easton's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 58.1% of Easton's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 19.4% Indirect share and far above its 22.5% Minimal share — a profile where 75 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Easton ranks
Compare Easton's two percentiles: 80th within Wisconsin, only 34th nationally — a gap of 46 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Easton ranks 20,721 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,778 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 159 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
Easton's moderate rating (34th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Easton's 58.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
