Lewisville, MN
Lewisville, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lewisville at the 1st national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 207 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lewisville at the 0th percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Lewisville's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 21.3% of Lewisville's 207 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 78.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Lewisville compares
Lewisville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (0th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lewisville ranks 31,310 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,602 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 910 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Lewisville and the insurance market
Lewisville's low rating (1st 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 78.7% of Lewisville 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.
Where Lewisville's figures come from
Lewisville's 1st-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 Lewisville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
