Footville, WI
How exposed is Footville to wildfire?
Footville's 509 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Footville at the 4th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Footville's building exposure, zone by zone
82.5% of Footville's 509 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 17.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Footville ranks
Footville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (4th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Footville ranks 30,402 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,204 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 804 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Footville and the insurance market
At the 4th national percentile, Footville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 82.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Footville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
