Kohler, WI
Kohler, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Kohler's 1,023 buildings earn a 12th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Kohler's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 13th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Kohler rates 88.3% Minimal exposure against just 11.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,023 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Kohler against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Kohler's 12th national percentile and its 10th percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kohler ranks 27,785 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,783 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 731 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
Kohler's low rating (12th 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
Kohler's 88.3% 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.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Kohler's 27,785-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Kohler, see the exposure-zones guide.
