Evansville, MN
Evansville, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Evansville sits at the 34th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 373 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Evansville at the 33rd percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
Evansville's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 14.5% of Evansville's 373 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 85.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Evansville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Evansville's 34th national percentile and its 43rd percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Evansville ranks 20,706 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,807 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 520 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Evansville
At the 34th national percentile, Evansville 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
With 85.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Evansville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Evansville's 34th-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 Evansville, see the exposure-zones guide.
