Conger, MN
How exposed is Conger to wildfire?
Conger sits at the 2nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 118 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Conger at the 2nd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Conger's buildings actually sit
83.9% of Conger's 118 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 16.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Conger compares
There's little gap between Conger's 2nd national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Conger ranks 30,863 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,251 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 892 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Conger
Conger's low wildfire rating (2nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Conger
Conger's 83.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
