Newburg, ND
Newburg, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Newburg lands at the 7th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 105 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Newburg at the 6th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Newburg's building exposure, zone by zone
Newburg rates 88.6% Minimal exposure against just 11.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 105 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Newburg against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Newburg's 7th national percentile and its 1st percentile inside North Dakota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Newburg ranks 29,320 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,810 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 399 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Newburg
At the 7th national percentile, Newburg rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Newburg's 88.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Newburg's 7th-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 Newburg, see the exposure-zones guide.
