Hollandale, MN
Hollandale, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hollandale lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 229 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hollandale's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
Where Hollandale's buildings actually sit
74.2% of Hollandale's 229 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 25.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Hollandale ranks
Hollandale's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (8th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (5th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hollandale ranks 29,852 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,821 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 838 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 5th national percentile, Hollandale 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
With 74.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hollandale gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Hollandale's figures come from
Hollandale's 5th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hollandale's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
