Henning, MN
Henning, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Henning at the 51st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 622 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Henning at the 49th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Henning's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Henning's buildings (65.6% of 622) 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.
Where Henning ranks
Within Minnesota, Henning ranks higher (75th percentile) than it does nationally (51st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Henning ranks 15,443 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,529 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 226 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Henning and the insurance market
Henning's elevated rating (51st 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 Henning
With 65.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Henning gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
