Little Canada, MN
How exposed is Little Canada to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Little Canada lands at the 37th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 3,252 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Little Canada's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 36th percentile nationally.
Little Canada's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Little Canada's buildings (84.8% of 3,252) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Little Canada ranks
Little Canada's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (48th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (37th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Little Canada ranks 19,977 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,098 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 474 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Little Canada
Little Canada's moderate rating (37th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 84.8% of Little Canada 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.
