Brooktree Park wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Brooktree Park at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 34 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Brooktree Park at the 37th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
Where Brooktree Park's buildings actually sit
55.9% of Brooktree Park's 34 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 19 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 44.1% are Minimal.
Brooktree Park against the rest of the country
Inside North Dakota, Brooktree Park sits at just the 20th percentile even though it scores 38th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brooktree Park ranks 19,638 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,297 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 321 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Brooktree Park's moderate rating (38th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
