Montfort, WI
Montfort, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Montfort's 421 buildings earn a 25th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Montfort'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
421 buildings are counted in Montfort, and 89.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 10.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Montfort against the rest of the country
Within Wisconsin, Montfort ranks higher (49th percentile) than it does nationally (25th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Montfort ranks 23,717 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,812 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 417 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
At the 25th national percentile, Montfort rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 89.1% of Montfort'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.
