Radisson, WI
How exposed is Radisson to wildfire?
USFS scores Radisson at the 14th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 216 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Radisson's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 73.2% of Radisson's 216 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 26.9% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Radisson ranks
Radisson's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (14th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Radisson ranks 27,218 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,295 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 696 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Radisson and the insurance market
At the 14th national percentile, Radisson rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 73.2% of Radisson'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.
Where Radisson's figures come from
Radisson's 14th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Radisson's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
