Endeavor, WI
How exposed is Endeavor to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Endeavor lands at the 35th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 278 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 Endeavor at the 37th percentile, close to its 35th-percentile risk score.
Where Endeavor's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Endeavor (55% of 278 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 45% sit in the Direct zone.

Shopping for coverage in Endeavor
Endeavor's moderate wildfire rating (35th 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Endeavor (55% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
