Stockbridge, WI
How exposed is Stockbridge to wildfire?
USFS scores Stockbridge at the 19th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 583 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Stockbridge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 19th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Stockbridge rates 64.7% Minimal exposure against just 35.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 583 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Stockbridge ranks
Stockbridge scores 19th nationally and 28th 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, Stockbridge ranks 25,484 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,068 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 580 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Stockbridge and the insurance market
At the 19th national percentile, Stockbridge 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
Even with 64.7% of Stockbridge outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
