Montreal, WI
How exposed is Montreal to wildfire?
Montreal's 712 buildings earn a 10th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Montreal at the 10th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
712 buildings are counted in Montreal, and 58.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Montreal ranks
There's little gap between Montreal's 10th national percentile and its 7th percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Montreal ranks 28,290 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,543 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 755 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 10th national percentile, Montreal rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Montreal
Montreal's 58.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
