Sextonville, WI
How exposed is Sextonville to wildfire?
Sextonville sits at the 33rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 328 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sextonville at the 35th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What would actually reduce this score
Sextonville's 50.3% 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.
