Haugen, WI
Haugen, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Haugen lands at the 24th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 207 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Haugen's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 25th percentile nationally.
Where Haugen's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 64.7% of Haugen's 207 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 35.3% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Haugen ranks
Compare Haugen's two percentiles: 46th within Wisconsin, only 24th nationally — a gap of 22 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Haugen ranks 23,906 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,627 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 434 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Haugen
At the 24th national percentile, Haugen 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
Because 64.7% of Haugen's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Haugen's figures come from
Haugen's 24th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Haugen's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
