Mosinee, WI
Mosinee, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Mosinee at the 35th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 2,191 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mosinee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
Where Mosinee's buildings actually sit
2,191 buildings are counted in Mosinee, and 72.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 26.9% in Direct exposure or the 0.4% rated Minimal.
Where Mosinee ranks
Compare Mosinee's two percentiles: 82nd within Wisconsin, only 35th nationally — a gap of 47 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mosinee ranks 20,536 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,958 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 148 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Mosinee and the insurance market
At the 35th national percentile, Mosinee rates moderate 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 Mosinee
Because 72.7% of Mosinee'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.
More on how this number was built
Mosinee's 35th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Mosinee, see the exposure-zones guide.
