What "at risk" means for the buildings here

421Total buildings
11.4%Direct exposure
1%Indirect exposure
87.7%Minimal exposure

Most of Reeseville's buildings (87.7% of 421) 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.

Reeseville against the rest of the country

Reeseville's 86th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 37th 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, Reeseville ranks 19,967 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,813 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 116 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 37th national percentile, Reeseville rates moderate 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

With 87.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Reeseville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
