Darfur, MN
Darfur, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Darfur sits at the 6th 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 117 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Darfur at the 4th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Darfur's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 6% of Darfur's 117 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 94% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Darfur ranks
There's little gap between Darfur's 6th national percentile and its 9th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Darfur ranks 29,786 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,308 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 836 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Darfur and the insurance market
At the 6th national percentile, Darfur rates low 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 Darfur
With 94% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Darfur gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
