Lake Camelot, WI
Lake Camelot wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Lake Camelot at the 55th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,401 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lake Camelot's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 52nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
69.2% of Lake Camelot's 1,401 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 970 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 8.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 22% are Minimal.
Lake Camelot against the rest of the country
Lake Camelot's 99th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 55th 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, Lake Camelot ranks 14,326 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,628 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 6 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lake Camelot
Lake Camelot's elevated wildfire rating (55th 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
Lake Camelot's 69.2% 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.
More on how this number was built
Lake Camelot's 55th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Lake Camelot, see the exposure-zones guide.
