Mapleview, MN
How exposed is Mapleview to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mapleview at the 19th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 131 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 Mapleview at the 19th percentile, close to its 19th-percentile risk score.
Mapleview's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 90.1% of Mapleview's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 9.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Mapleview compares
Mapleview'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, Mapleview ranks 25,594 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,669 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 711 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Mapleview and the insurance market
At the 19th national percentile, Mapleview rates low 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
Even with 90.1% of Mapleview 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.
More on how this number was built
Mapleview's 19th-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 Mapleview, see the exposure-zones guide.
