Mina, NV
How exposed is Mina to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mina at the 5th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 236 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 Mina at the 7th percentile, close to its 5th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
91.5% of Mina's 236 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 8.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Mina ranks
Mina scores 5th nationally and 1st within Nevada — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mina ranks 29,918 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,602 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nevada alone, it ranks 122 of 123 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nevada on its state page.
Mina and the insurance market
At the 5th national percentile, Mina 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Mina (91.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Mina's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Mina's 29,918-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Mina's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
