Cedar Mills, MN
Cedar Mills, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Cedar Mills at the 28th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 59 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cedar Mills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 25th percentile nationally.
Cedar Mills's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 3.4% of Cedar Mills's 59 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 96.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Cedar Mills ranks
Cedar Mills scores 28th nationally and 34th within Minnesota — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cedar Mills ranks 22,631 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,681 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 604 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Cedar Mills and the insurance market
At the 28th national percentile, Cedar Mills rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Cedar Mills
With 96.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Cedar Mills gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
