Greenwood, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Greenwood's 384 buildings earn a 35th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Greenwood at the 35th percentile, close to its 35th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Greenwood's buildings (63.8% of 384) 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.
Greenwood against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Greenwood's 35th national percentile and its 45th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenwood ranks 20,453 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,547 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 503 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Greenwood and the insurance market
Greenwood's moderate rating (35th 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 Greenwood
Even with 63.8% of Greenwood 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.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Greenwood's 20,453-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Greenwood, see the exposure-zones guide.
