Trosky, MN
Trosky, MN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Trosky's 114 buildings earn a 25th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Trosky at the 23rd national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Trosky's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Trosky's 114 counted buildings, 51.8% carry Direct exposure and only 48.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Trosky ranks
Trosky scores 25th nationally and 30th 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, Trosky ranks 23,575 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,457 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 643 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
Trosky and the insurance market
Trosky's moderate rating (25th 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
With 51.8% of Trosky in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Trosky's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Trosky's 23,575-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Trosky's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
