Fox Crossing, WI
Fox Crossing wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fox Crossing lands at the 27th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 8,237 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 Fox Crossing at the 29th percentile, close to its 27th-percentile risk score.
Where Fox Crossing's buildings actually sit
Fox Crossing rates 91% Minimal exposure against just 9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 8,237 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 8,237 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

Shopping for coverage in Fox Crossing
At the 27th national percentile, Fox Crossing rates moderate 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
Fox Crossing's 91% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
