Barry, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
26thpercentile nationally

Barry's 53 buildings earn a 26th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Barry at the 20th percentile, close to its 26th-percentile risk score.

Barry's building exposure, zone by zone

53Total buildings
17%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
83%Minimal exposure

Most of Barry's buildings (83% of 53) 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.

Where Barry ranks

Barry's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (30th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (26th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Barry ranks 23,388 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,845 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 636 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Barry

Barry's moderate rating (26th 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

With 83% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Barry gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
