Mukwonago, WI
How exposed is Mukwonago to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mukwonago lands at the 32nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 2,947 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mukwonago at the 33rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Mukwonago's buildings actually sit
2,947 buildings are counted in Mukwonago, and 55.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 23.7% in Direct exposure or the 21.2% rated Minimal.

Shopping for coverage in Mukwonago
Mukwonago's moderate wildfire rating (32nd 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
Mukwonago's 55.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
