Rimini, MT
How exposed is Rimini to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rimini at the 97th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 67 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rimini's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 94th percentile nationally.
Where Rimini's buildings actually sit
67 buildings are counted in Rimini, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Rimini ranks
Rimini scores 97th nationally and 94th within Montana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rimini ranks 946 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,390 by building count (1 is largest). Within Montana alone, it ranks 28 of 475 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Montana on its state page.
Rimini and the insurance market
At the 97th percentile nationally, Rimini carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Rimini (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
