Redgranite, WI
Redgranite, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Redgranite sits at the 55th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 729 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Redgranite's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Redgranite's buildings (58.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Redgranite ranks
Redgranite's 99th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 55th 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, Redgranite ranks 14,358 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,361 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 8 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Redgranite
Redgranite's elevated rating (55th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Redgranite
Redgranite's 58.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Redgranite's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Redgranite's 14,358-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Redgranite's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
