McGregor, ND
McGregor, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
McGregor sits at the 68th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 82 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks McGregor at the 61st national percentile — 7 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
McGregor's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of McGregor's buildings (57.3%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How McGregor compares
McGregor's 85th-percentile standing inside North Dakota outpaces its 68th 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, McGregor ranks 10,184 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,814 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 63 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in McGregor
At the 68th percentile nationally, McGregor 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.
Hardening a home in McGregor
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in McGregor (57.3% 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
McGregor's 68th-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 McGregor, see the exposure-zones guide.
