Glen Ullin, ND
Glen Ullin, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Glen Ullin at the 46th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 733 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glen Ullin's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 44th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
733 buildings are counted in Glen Ullin, and 90% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 10% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Glen Ullin compares
Glen Ullin scores 46th nationally and 42nd within North Dakota — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glen Ullin ranks 16,901 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,297 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 233 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
Glen Ullin's elevated rating (46th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 90% of Glen Ullin'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
Glen Ullin's 46th-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 Glen Ullin, see the exposure-zones guide.
