Kekoskee, WI
How exposed is Kekoskee to wildfire?
Kekoskee sits at the 47th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 911 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Kekoskee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 50th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
911 buildings are counted in Kekoskee, and 52.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 23.9% rated Minimal.
Where Kekoskee ranks
Kekoskee's 97th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 47th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kekoskee ranks 16,627 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,633 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 22 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kekoskee
Kekoskee's elevated rating (47th 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
Kekoskee's 52.4% 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.
