Eden Valley, MN
Eden Valley, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Eden Valley at the 24th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 583 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 Eden Valley at the 21st percentile, close to its 24th-percentile risk score.
Where Eden Valley's buildings actually sit
Most of Eden Valley's buildings (71% of 583) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Eden Valley compares
Eden Valley's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (28th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (24th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eden Valley ranks 24,111 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,063 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 663 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
At the 24th national percentile, Eden Valley rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 71% of Eden Valley 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.
