Fulda, MN
Fulda, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Fulda's 764 buildings earn a 22nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fulda at the 15th national percentile — 7 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Fulda's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 22% of Fulda's 764 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 78% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Fulda compares
There's little gap between Fulda's 22nd national percentile and its 25th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fulda ranks 24,683 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,975 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 684 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fulda
Fulda's moderate wildfire rating (22nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 78% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fulda gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
