Madison, Wisconsin has a 4.4 / 10 hail risk score, which falls in the low band and is in the 27th percentile among scored local areas in this model. The score was snapshotted on 2026-06-17 with 0% model confidence.
What drives this score here?
2-inch hail probability is the largest V4 contributor from registered local hazard drivers. For this location, the score card also highlights these model signals:
- 2 in annual: 24.9%
- 2.75 in annual: 0.017%
- 1-in-100 size: 3.6 in
- Roof damage: 100.0%
The strongest component metrics in the snapshot are:
- 2 Inch Hail Probability: model component 0.200. The raw value is 24.9%.
- 1 In 100 Hail Size: model component 0.107. The raw value is 3.6 in.
- Roof Damage Probability: model component 0.100. The raw value is 100.0%.
For hail exposure, the useful signals are large-hail probability, 1-in-100 hail size, impact energy, and roof damage probability. This snapshot shows 2 inch annual probability at 24.9% and 1-in-100 hail size at 3.6 in.
How to read the location signal
This page uses the representative local model area around the large city centroid for Madison, Wisconsin. That local model area is roughly 5 square kilometers, so the score is a practical place-level signal for browsing and comparison. The building-level view comes from entering a street address.
Because Madison is a large population center, this page is included as a representative local area view. Boundary-wide aggregation belongs in a separate county or citywide rollup.
The confidence value is unavailable or very limited in this snapshot, so the page should be treated as a starting point.

Why building details matter
A street-address score can account for the unique characteristics of a specific building, including age, construction type, roof shape and condition, occupancy, elevation, defensible space, drainage, terrain, and nearby exposure. Those details can change resilience or susceptibility around the same location-level score.
Use this city page when you want a recognizable local reference point for comparing nearby ZIPs and counties. Since the percentile is lower than many scored areas, the address-level score is still important for finding property-specific exposure.
Use the PerilScore app to enter a street address and see the full property-specific score.
The local score is the starting point
A specific building can perform differently from the surrounding area. The PerilScore street-address check adds building age, construction type, roof details, occupancy, elevation, defensible space, drainage, terrain, and nearby exposure to the hail layer shown here.
