Sargeant, MN
Sargeant, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Sargeant sits at the 0th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 77 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sargeant at the 0th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Sargeant's building exposure, zone by zone
90.9% of Sargeant's 77 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 9.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Sargeant ranks
There's little gap between Sargeant's 0th national percentile and its 0th percentile inside Minnesota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sargeant ranks 31,405 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,014 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 914 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Sargeant
At the 0th national percentile, Sargeant rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 90.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Sargeant gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Sargeant's 0th-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 Sargeant, see the exposure-zones guide.
