Sheboygan Falls, WI
Sheboygan Falls wildfire risk explained
Sheboygan Falls sits at the 8th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,724 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sheboygan Falls at the 8th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Sheboygan Falls's building exposure, zone by zone
91.4% of Sheboygan Falls's 3,724 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 8.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Sheboygan Falls against the rest of the country
Sheboygan Falls's risk sits at a similar level relative to Wisconsin (4th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (8th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sheboygan Falls ranks 29,015 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,499 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 777 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 8th national percentile, Sheboygan Falls rates low 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 91.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Sheboygan Falls gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Sheboygan Falls's figures come from
Sheboygan Falls's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Sheboygan Falls's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
