Delhi, MN
Delhi wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Delhi lands at the 20th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 82 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Delhi's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 18th percentile nationally.
Delhi's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Delhi (70.7% of 82 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 29.3% sit in the Direct zone.
Delhi against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Delhi's 20th national percentile and its 24th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Delhi ranks 25,091 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,805 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 694 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
Delhi's moderate rating (20th 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 Delhi
Because 70.7% of Delhi's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Delhi's 25,091-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Delhi, see the exposure-zones guide.
