Tyler, MN
Tyler wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Tyler lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 834 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tyler's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Where Tyler's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 77.1% of Tyler's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 22.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Tyler against the rest of the country
Tyler's risk sits at a similar level relative to Minnesota (41st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (33rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tyler ranks 21,085 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,307 by building count (1 is largest). Within Minnesota alone, it ranks 543 of 914 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Minnesota on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Tyler's moderate rating (33rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Tyler
With 77.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Tyler gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Tyler's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Tyler's 21,085-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Tyler's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
