Edmore, ND
How exposed is Edmore to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Edmore at the 60th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 224 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edmore's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 58th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 18.8% of Edmore's 224 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 81.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Edmore compares
Edmore's risk sits at a similar level relative to North Dakota (74th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (60th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edmore ranks 12,646 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,986 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 107 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edmore
Edmore's elevated wildfire rating (60th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 81.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Edmore gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
