Glenfield, ND
How exposed is Glenfield to wildfire?
USFS scores Glenfield at the 59th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 95 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glenfield'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
67.4% of Glenfield's 95 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 32.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Glenfield ranks
Glenfield scores 59th nationally and 70th 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, Glenfield ranks 13,056 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,282 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 123 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Glenfield
Glenfield's elevated wildfire rating (59th 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 67.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Glenfield gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
