Hebron, WI
Hebron wildfire risk explained
Hebron's 183 buildings earn a 31st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hebron's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 32nd percentile nationally.
Where Hebron's buildings actually sit
Of Hebron's 183 counted buildings, 81.4% carry Direct exposure and only 10.4% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Hebron compares
Compare Hebron's two percentiles: 67th within Wisconsin, only 31st nationally — a gap of 36 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hebron ranks 21,858 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,521 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 270 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Hebron's moderate wildfire rating (31st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Hebron's 81.4% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Hebron's 31st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Hebron, see the exposure-zones guide.
