Le Roy, MN
Le Roy wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Le Roy at the 19th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 654 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Le Roy's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 18th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Le Roy (81% of 654 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 13.3% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Le Roy ranks
Le Roy's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (22nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (19th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Le Roy ranks 25,593 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,152 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 710 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Le Roy and the insurance market
At the 19th national percentile, Le Roy rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Le Roy
Le Roy's 81% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
