Danvers, MN
How exposed is Danvers to wildfire?
USFS scores Danvers at the 48th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 118 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Danvers's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 37th percentile nationally.
Danvers's building exposure, zone by zone
61.9% of Danvers's 118 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 38.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Danvers against the rest of the country
Compare Danvers's two percentiles: 72nd within Minnesota, only 48th nationally — a gap of 23 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Danvers ranks 16,260 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,252 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 259 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
Danvers's elevated rating (48th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Danvers
With 61.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Danvers gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
