What "at risk" means for the buildings here
251 buildings are counted in Weyerhaeuser, and 81.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 18.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Weyerhaeuser ranks
Weyerhaeuser scores 11th nationally and 8th 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, Weyerhaeuser ranks 28,131 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,124 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 746 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
Weyerhaeuser and the insurance market
Weyerhaeuser's low rating (11th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Weyerhaeuser's 81.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Weyerhaeuser's figures come from
Weyerhaeuser's 11th-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 Weyerhaeuser's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
