Landa, ND
How exposed is Landa to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Landa at the 43rd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 53 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Landa at the 41st percentile, close to its 43rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 60.4% of Landa's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 37.7% Indirect share and far above its 1.9% Minimal share — a profile where 32 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Landa ranks
Landa scores 43rd nationally and 33rd 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, Landa ranks 18,035 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,852 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 273 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
At the 43rd national percentile, Landa rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Landa
Landa's 60.4% 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.
More on how this number was built
Landa's 43rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Landa, see the exposure-zones guide.
