Kendall, WI
Kendall, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Kendall at the 28th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 306 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Kendall's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 30th percentile nationally.
Where Kendall's buildings actually sit
306 buildings are counted in Kendall, and 78.4% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 21.6% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Kendall ranks
Kendall's 60th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 28th 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, Kendall ranks 22,584 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,490 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 325 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 28th national percentile, Kendall rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Kendall
Because 78.4% of Kendall'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.
