Freeport, MN
Freeport wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Freeport lands at the 24th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 439 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Freeport at the 24th percentile, close to its 24th-percentile risk score.
Freeport's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Freeport's buildings (84.3% of 439) 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.
Freeport against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Freeport's 24th national percentile and its 28th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Freeport ranks 23,920 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,479 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 654 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Freeport and the insurance market
Freeport's moderate rating (24th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Freeport
With 84.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Freeport 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
Freeport's 24th-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 Freeport, see the exposure-zones guide.
