Dundee, MN
Dundee wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Dundee lands at the 19th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 108 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dundee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 13th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 27.8% of Dundee's 108 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 72.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Dundee ranks
There's little gap between Dundee's 19th national percentile and its 23rd percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dundee ranks 25,532 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,696 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 707 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dundee
At the 19th national percentile, Dundee rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 72.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Dundee gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
