How Maple Bluff compares
Compare Maple Bluff's two percentiles: 68th within Wisconsin, only 31st nationally — a gap of 37 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Maple Bluff ranks 21,764 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,684 by building count (1 is largest).

What this risk score means for insurance
Maple Bluff's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Maple Bluff's 68.5% 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.
