Ronneby, MN
How exposed is Ronneby to wildfire?
Ronneby sits at the 61st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 66 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ronneby at the 60th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Ronneby's buildings actually sit
66 buildings are counted in Ronneby, and 98.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 1.5% rated Minimal.
Ronneby against the rest of the country
Within Minnesota, Ronneby ranks higher (86th percentile) than it does nationally (61st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ronneby ranks 12,449 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,424 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 130 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Ronneby and the insurance market
Ronneby's 61st-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Ronneby
Because Direct exposure dominates in Ronneby (98.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
