Hebron, ND
Hebron, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hebron at the 46th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 766 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hebron's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 42nd percentile nationally.
Where Hebron's buildings actually sit
76.2% of Hebron's 766 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 23.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Hebron against the rest of the country
Hebron's risk sits at a similar level relative to North Dakota (39th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (46th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hebron ranks 17,187 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,956 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 244 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
Hebron'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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Hebron (76.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
