Ixonia, WI
Ixonia, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Ixonia at the 36th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 971 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ixonia at the 37th percentile, close to its 36th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Ixonia's buildings (55.3% of 971) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Ixonia ranks
Compare Ixonia's two percentiles: 84th within Wisconsin, only 36th nationally — a gap of 48 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ixonia ranks 20,347 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,148 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 134 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Ixonia and the insurance market
Ixonia's moderate wildfire rating (36th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Ixonia's 55.3% 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.
