Mantador, ND
Mantador, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mantador's 92 buildings earn a 28th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mantador at the 23rd national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Mantador's buildings (81.5% of 92) 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.
Mantador against the rest of the country
Inside North Dakota, Mantador sits at just the 11th percentile even though it scores 28th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mantador ranks 22,694 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,420 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 359 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
Mantador's moderate rating (28th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 81.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Mantador gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Mantador's figures come from
Mantador's 28th-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 Mantador's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
