Oshkosh vs the Wisconsin Average

Cost indexes barely move across this corridor, so the ranges above track each other — what separates these markets is supply and storm exposure. Appleton, the closest at about 20 miles, lists 25 contractors against Oshkosh's 22, and its county logged 59 hail events to Oshkosh's 13 over the same decade. A quote that ignores those local factors deserves a follow-up question.

Hail History in Oshkosh — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
NOAA Storm Events data shows 13 hail events in Oshkosh's county over the last 10 years, with hail up to 1.00″ (most recent on record: 2024-06-25). Stones of 1.00″ can bruise shingles and dent flashing, but 13 recorded events in ten years makes hail an occasional Oshkosh risk rather than an annual one — weigh the 10–20% Class 4 upcharge against how long you plan to keep the roof. Check your own address on the hail risk lookup.
Hail Events by Year in Oshkosh's County (NOAA)
| Year | Recorded hail events | Largest hail that year |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 1 | 1.00″ |
| 2023 | 2 | 1.00″ |
| 2021 | 2 | 1.00″ |

| 2018 | 2 | 1.00″ |
| 2017 | 1 | 0.75″ |

Put in Wisconsin context: Oshkosh's county logged 0.5× the hail-event count of the median Wisconsin county we track (24 events over the same 10 years) — a lighter hail record than most of the state, so age and UV wear drive more Oshkosh replacements than storms do.
