Correll, MN
Correll wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Correll lands at the 74th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 73 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Correll's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
Correll's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Correll: 57.5% of its 73 buildings, versus 42.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Correll ranks
Correll's 95th-percentile standing inside Minnesota outpaces its 74th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Correll ranks 8,281 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,176 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 41 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 74th percentile nationally, Correll carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Correll's 57.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Correll's 74th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Correll, see the exposure-zones guide.
