How exposed is Neshkoro to wildfire?
Neshkoro's 347 buildings earn a 51st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Neshkoro at the 51st percentile, close to its 51st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
347 buildings are counted in Neshkoro, and 54.2% 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.
Neshkoro against the rest of the country
Within Wisconsin, Neshkoro ranks higher (99th percentile) than it does nationally (51st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 12 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 51st national percentile, Neshkoro rates elevated 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Neshkoro (54.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Neshkoro's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Neshkoro's 15,398-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Neshkoro's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
