Jordan, MN
Jordan, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jordan lands at the 47th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 2,288 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jordan's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 44th percentile nationally.
Where Jordan's buildings actually sit
53.2% of Jordan's 2,288 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 17.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Jordan against the rest of the country
Within Minnesota, Jordan ranks higher (69th percentile) than it does nationally (47th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jordan ranks 16,764 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,727 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 280 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Jordan and the insurance market
Jordan's elevated rating (47th 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
Even with 53.2% of Jordan 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.
