Mishicot, WI
Mishicot, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mishicot's 897 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mishicot at the 8th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Mishicot's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 31.8% of Mishicot's 897 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 68.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Mishicot against the rest of the country
Mishicot scores 8th nationally and 3rd within Wisconsin — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mishicot ranks 29,172 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,759 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 783 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Mishicot and the insurance market
Mishicot's low wildfire rating (8th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 68.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Mishicot gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Mishicot's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Mishicot, see the exposure-zones guide.
