Mayville, ND
How exposed is Mayville to wildfire?
USFS scores Mayville at the 36th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,090 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mayville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 34th percentile nationally.
Where Mayville's buildings actually sit
Only 16.3% of Mayville's 1,090 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 83.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Mayville compares
Mayville ranks lower within North Dakota (18th percentile statewide) than its 36th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mayville ranks 20,051 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,342 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 330 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Mayville and the insurance market
At the 36th national percentile, Mayville rates moderate 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 Mayville
With 83.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Mayville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
