Glenville, MN
How exposed is Glenville to wildfire?
Glenville's 439 buildings earn a 30th-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 Glenville at the 26th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Glenville's buildings (83.4% 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.
How Glenville compares
There's little gap between Glenville's 30th national percentile and its 36th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glenville ranks 22,221 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,480 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 587 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Glenville and the insurance market
Glenville's moderate rating (30th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 83.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Glenville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
