Dilworth, MN
How exposed is Dilworth to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Dilworth at the 36th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,875 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dilworth at the 36th percentile, close to its 36th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 93.7% of Dilworth's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Dilworth ranks
Dilworth's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (48th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (36th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dilworth ranks 20,042 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,837 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 477 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Dilworth and the insurance market
Dilworth's moderate rating (36th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Dilworth's 93.7% 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.
Where Dilworth's figures come from
Dilworth's 36th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Dilworth's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
