Johnson Creek, WI
Johnson Creek, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Johnson Creek at the 34th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,235 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Johnson Creek's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 34th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 22.3% of Johnson Creek's 1,235 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 77.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Johnson Creek against the rest of the country
Compare Johnson Creek's two percentiles: 77th within Wisconsin, only 34th nationally — a gap of 43 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Johnson Creek ranks 20,946 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,442 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 191 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
At the 34th national percentile, Johnson Creek 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
Even with 77.7% of Johnson Creek outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Johnson Creek's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Johnson Creek's 20,946-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Johnson Creek's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
