Dumont, MN
Dumont, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Dumont's 203 buildings earn a 17th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dumont at the 12th percentile, close to its 17th-percentile risk score.
Where Dumont's buildings actually sit
Only 22.2% of Dumont's 203 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 77.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Dumont against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Dumont's 17th national percentile and its 21st percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dumont ranks 26,036 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,735 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 724 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dumont
Dumont's low rating (17th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 77.8% of Dumont outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Dumont's 17th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Dumont, see the exposure-zones guide.
