Neopit, WI
Neopit, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Neopit at the 28th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 311 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Neopit at the 29th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Neopit's buildings actually sit
311 buildings are counted in Neopit, and 53.7% 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.
Neopit against the rest of the country
Compare Neopit's two percentiles: 58th within Wisconsin, only 28th nationally — a gap of 30 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Neopit ranks 22,677 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,364 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 335 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Neopit and the insurance market
At the 28th national percentile, Neopit 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 Neopit
With 53.7% of Neopit in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Neopit's 28th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Neopit, see the exposure-zones guide.
