Englevale, ND
Englevale, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Englevale's 81 buildings earn a 64th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Englevale's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
Englevale's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Englevale (54.3% of 81 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 45.7% sit in the Direct zone.
How Englevale compares
Compare Englevale's two percentiles: 81st within North Dakota, only 64th nationally — a gap of 16 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Englevale ranks 11,254 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,860 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 79 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Englevale and the insurance market
At the 64th percentile nationally, Englevale carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Englevale
Because 54.3% of Englevale's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Englevale's 64th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Englevale, see the exposure-zones guide.
