Rosemount, MN
Rosemount, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rosemount at the 35th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 9,518 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rosemount at the 36th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rosemount's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 22.5% of Rosemount's 9,518 buildings carry Direct exposure and 7.2% carry Indirect; the remaining 70.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 9,518 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Rosemount compares
Rosemount scores 35th nationally and 45th within Minnesota — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosemount ranks 20,389 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,711 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 500 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Rosemount and the insurance market
Rosemount's moderate rating (35th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 70.3% of Rosemount 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.
