River Hills, WI
River Hills, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
River Hills's 1,003 buildings earn a 23rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks River Hills at the 25th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where River Hills's buildings actually sit
1,003 buildings are counted in River Hills, and 89.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 10.2% rated Minimal.

Shopping for coverage in River Hills
River Hills's moderate wildfire rating (23rd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
River Hills's 89.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
