Rosholt, WI
Rosholt wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rosholt at the 21st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 392 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rosholt at the 21st percentile, close to its 21st-percentile risk score.
Where Rosholt's buildings actually sit
68.9% of Rosholt's 392 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 31.1% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Rosholt compares
Rosholt scores 21st nationally and 35th 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, Rosholt ranks 24,917 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,387 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 533 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Rosholt and the insurance market
At the 21st national percentile, Rosholt rates moderate 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Rosholt (68.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
