Havana, ND
Havana, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Havana lands at the 59th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 132 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Havana at the 58th percentile, close to its 59th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Havana: 63.6% of its 132 buildings, versus 36.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Havana ranks
Havana 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, Havana ranks 13,027 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,638 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 120 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Havana
Havana'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.
Hardening a home in Havana
Havana's 63.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Havana's figures come from
Havana's 59th-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 Havana's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
