Mazomanie, WI
Mazomanie, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mazomanie at the 25th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 928 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mazomanie's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
928 buildings are counted in Mazomanie, and 77.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 22.1% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Mazomanie against the rest of the country
Mazomanie's 48th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 25th 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, Mazomanie ranks 23,716 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,494 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 416 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
Mazomanie's moderate rating (25th 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 Mazomanie
Because 77.9% of Mazomanie's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
