LaMoure, ND
LaMoure, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
LaMoure's 737 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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks LaMoure at the 59th national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where LaMoure's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in LaMoure (62.8% of 737 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 33.5% sit in the Direct zone.
Where LaMoure ranks
LaMoure's 81st-percentile standing inside North Dakota outpaces its 64th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, LaMoure ranks 11,229 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,250 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 78 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in LaMoure
At the 64th percentile nationally, LaMoure 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in LaMoure (62.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
LaMoure'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 LaMoure, see the exposure-zones guide.
