Lebanon, WI
Lebanon wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lebanon lands at the 35th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 123 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lebanon at the 36th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lebanon's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 30.1% of Lebanon's 123 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 69.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Lebanon ranks
Within Wisconsin, Lebanon ranks higher (83rd percentile) than it does nationally (35th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lebanon ranks 20,409 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,044 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 143 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lebanon
At the 35th national percentile, Lebanon 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 Lebanon
Lebanon's 69.9% 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.
