Little Chute, WI
Little Chute, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Little Chute at the 15th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 4,925 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Little Chute's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 18th percentile nationally.
Where Little Chute's buildings actually sit
Little Chute rates 95.4% Minimal exposure against just 4.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 4,925 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Little Chute compares
Little Chute's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (18th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (15th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Little Chute ranks 26,681 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,472 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 664 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
Little Chute's low rating (15th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Little Chute
Little Chute's 95.4% 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.
