Renville, MN
How exposed is Renville to wildfire?
USFS scores Renville at the 25th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 762 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Renville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 20th percentile nationally.
Where Renville's buildings actually sit
Most of Renville's buildings (82% of 762) 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.
How Renville compares
There's little gap between Renville's 25th national percentile and its 29th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Renville ranks 23,764 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,996 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 647 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 25th national percentile, Renville rates moderate 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 82% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Renville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
