Aneta, ND
Aneta, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Aneta's 237 buildings earn a 49th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Aneta at the 46th percentile, close to its 49th-percentile risk score.
Aneta's building exposure, zone by zone
Aneta rates 67.5% Minimal exposure against just 32.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 237 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Aneta compares
Aneta scores 49th nationally and 48th within North Dakota — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Aneta ranks 16,206 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,564 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 211 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Aneta and the insurance market
Aneta's elevated rating (49th 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 Aneta
Even with 67.5% of Aneta outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Aneta's 49th-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 Aneta, see the exposure-zones guide.
