Fox Point, WI
How exposed is Fox Point to wildfire?
USFS scores Fox Point at the 23rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 3,014 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fox Point at the 25th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 29.6% of Fox Point's 3,014 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 70.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Fox Point against the rest of the country
Fox Point's 42nd-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 23rd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fox Point ranks 24,254 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,414 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 469 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Fox Point and the insurance market
At the 23rd national percentile, Fox Point rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Fox Point's 70.4% 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.
