Davenport, ND
Davenport, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Davenport at the 14th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 173 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Davenport at the 12th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
83.8% of Davenport's 173 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 16.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Davenport against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Davenport's 14th national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside North Dakota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Davenport ranks 27,237 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,907 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 392 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Davenport
Davenport's low rating (14th 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 Davenport
Even with 83.8% of Davenport 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.
Where Davenport's figures come from
Davenport's 14th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Davenport's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
