Toronto, SD
How exposed is Toronto to wildfire?
USFS scores Toronto at the 23rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 190 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Toronto's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 18th percentile nationally.
Toronto's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Toronto's buildings (61.1% of 190) 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.
Where Toronto ranks
Inside South Dakota, Toronto sits at just the 2nd percentile even though it scores 23rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Toronto ranks 24,373 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,260 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Dakota alone, it ranks 432 of 439 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Toronto
At the 23rd national percentile, Toronto rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Toronto
With 61.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Toronto gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
