Adrian, MN
Adrian, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Adrian at the 12th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 824 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Adrian's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
Where Adrian's buildings actually sit
Only 19.2% of Adrian's 824 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 80.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Adrian compares
Adrian's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (16th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (12th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Adrian ranks 27,738 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,410 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 768 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Adrian and the insurance market
At the 12th national percentile, Adrian rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 80.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Adrian gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Adrian's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Adrian's 27,738-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Adrian's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
