Hanska, MN
How exposed is Hanska to wildfire?
Hanska sits at the 7th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 316 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 Hanska at the 4th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Where Hanska's buildings actually sit
91.5% of Hanska's 316 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 8.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Hanska compares
Hanska scores 7th nationally and 10th within Minnesota — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hanska ranks 29,311 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,210 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 819 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hanska
At the 7th national percentile, Hanska rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 91.5% of Hanska 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
Hanska's 7th-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 Hanska, see the exposure-zones guide.
