Rogers, MN
Rogers, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rogers sits at the 44th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 5,151 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rogers's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 39.1% of Rogers's 5,151 buildings carry Direct exposure and 2% carry Indirect; the remaining 58.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,151 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Rogers against the rest of the country
Rogers's 63rd-percentile standing inside Minnesota outpaces its 44th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rogers ranks 17,646 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,345 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 339 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rogers
Rogers's elevated rating (44th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 58.9% of Rogers 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
Rogers's 44th-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 Rogers, see the exposure-zones guide.
