West Allis, WI
West Allis, WI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
West Allis's 30,008 buildings earn a 20th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts West Allis at the 24th percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
Where West Allis's buildings actually sit
West Allis rates 98.9% Minimal exposure against just 1.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 30,008 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 30,008 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where West Allis ranks
West Allis scores 20th nationally and 31st 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, West Allis ranks 25,169 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 384 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 556 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in West Allis
West Allis's moderate wildfire rating (20th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in West Allis
West Allis's 98.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
West Allis's 20th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond West Allis, see the exposure-zones guide.
