Langdon, ND
Langdon, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Langdon at the 33rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,304 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Langdon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
Langdon's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Langdon's buildings (96.7% of 1,304) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Langdon compares
Langdon ranks lower within North Dakota (14th percentile statewide) than its 33rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Langdon ranks 20,996 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,063 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 346 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Langdon
Langdon's moderate rating (33rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Langdon
Even with 96.7% of Langdon outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
