Mohall, ND
How exposed is Mohall to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mohall at the 18th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 689 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mohall's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
Mohall's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 12.2% of Mohall's 689 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 87.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Mohall against the rest of the country
Mohall scores 18th nationally and 6th 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, Mohall ranks 25,726 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,770 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 380 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Mohall and the insurance market
At the 18th national percentile, Mohall rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 87.8% of Mohall 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.
More on how this number was built
Mohall's 18th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Mohall, see the exposure-zones guide.
