Lastrup, MN
Lastrup wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Lastrup at the 53rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 103 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lastrup's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 55th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 26.2% of Lastrup's 103 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 73.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Lastrup against the rest of the country
Lastrup's 78th-percentile standing inside Minnesota outpaces its 53rd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lastrup ranks 14,781 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,901 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 199 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 53rd national percentile, Lastrup rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 73.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lastrup gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Lastrup's 53rd-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 Lastrup, see the exposure-zones guide.
