Saukville, WI
Saukville, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Saukville at the 21st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,855 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 Saukville at the 22nd percentile, close to its 21st-percentile risk score.
Saukville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 87% of Saukville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 13% Direct and 0.1% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Saukville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Saukville's 21st national percentile and its 32nd percentile inside Wisconsin, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Saukville ranks 25,075 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,899 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 549 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
Saukville's moderate rating (21st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 87% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Saukville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
