Cohasset, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Cohasset at the 35th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 2,332 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cohasset's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
Where Cohasset's buildings actually sit
Of Cohasset's 2,332 counted buildings, 75.3% carry Direct exposure and only 5.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
