Weyauwega, WI
How exposed is Weyauwega to wildfire?
Weyauwega sits at the 37th 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 1,078 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Weyauwega at the 37th percentile, close to its 37th-percentile risk score.
Where Weyauwega's buildings actually sit
Most of Weyauwega's buildings (43.9% of 1,078) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Weyauwega compares
Weyauwega's 86th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 37th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Weyauwega ranks 19,937 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,415 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 113 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Weyauwega and the insurance market
Weyauwega's moderate rating (37th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Weyauwega's 43.9% 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
Weyauwega's 37th-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 Weyauwega, see the exposure-zones guide.
