Fall River, WI
Fall River wildfire risk explained
Fall River's 671 buildings earn a 34th-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 Fall River at the 34th percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
Where Fall River's buildings actually sit
Most of Fall River's buildings (70.3% of 671) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Fall River ranks
Fall River's 77th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 34th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 187 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Fall River and the insurance market
At the 34th national percentile, Fall River rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Fall River
