Richville, MN
Richville, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Richville lands at the 68th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 101 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Richville at the 62nd national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Richville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 61.4% of Richville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 38.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 62 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Where Richville's figures come from
