Antler, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Antler at the 59th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 79 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Antler's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 58th percentile nationally.
Where Antler's buildings actually sit
Of Antler's 79 counted buildings, 57% 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.
