Random Lake, WI
Random Lake, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Random Lake lands at the 12th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 821 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Random Lake at the 12th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Random Lake's buildings (82.7% of 821) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Random Lake compares
Random Lake scores 12th nationally and 9th within Wisconsin — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Random Lake ranks 27,817 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,444 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 732 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 12th national percentile, Random Lake 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
With 82.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Random Lake gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
