Roseville, MN
Roseville, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Roseville sits at the 30th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 12,347 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Roseville at the 31st percentile, close to its 30th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Roseville's buildings (87.6% of 12,347) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 12,347 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Roseville ranks
Roseville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (37th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (30th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roseville ranks 22,061 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,250 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 581 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Roseville and the insurance market
Roseville's moderate wildfire rating (30th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Roseville
Even with 87.6% of Roseville 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.
