Neenah, WI
Neenah, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Neenah sits at the 30th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 12,735 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Neenah at the 30th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Neenah's buildings actually sit
Only 2.8% of Neenah's 12,735 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 97.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 12,735 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Neenah ranks
Neenah's 64th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 30th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Neenah ranks 22,112 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,201 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 294 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 30th national percentile, Neenah 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
With 97.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Neenah 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
Neenah's 30th-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 Neenah, see the exposure-zones guide.
