Ebro, MN
Ebro, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ebro lands at the 76th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 53 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ebro at the 74th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Ebro's buildings actually sit
53 buildings are counted in Ebro, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Ebro against the rest of the country
Compare Ebro's two percentiles: 97th within Minnesota, only 76th nationally — a gap of 20 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ebro ranks 7,530 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,846 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 33 of 914 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Ebro
At the 76th percentile nationally, Ebro carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Ebro (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Ebro's figures come from
Ebro's 76th-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 Ebro's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
