Granton, WI
Granton, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Granton at the 16th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 249 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Granton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
Granton's building exposure, zone by zone
55% of Granton's 249 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 45% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Granton against the rest of the country
Granton's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (19th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (16th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Granton ranks 26,459 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,190 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 649 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Granton
Granton's low rating (16th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 55% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Granton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Granton's 16th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Granton, see the exposure-zones guide.
