Trommald, MN
Trommald, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Trommald at the 50th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 93 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Trommald's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 49th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Trommald's 93 counted buildings, 89.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Trommald compares
Trommald's 74th-percentile standing inside Minnesota outpaces its 50th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trommald ranks 15,882 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,357 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 241 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Trommald
At the 50th national percentile, Trommald rates elevated 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Trommald (89.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
