Page, ND
How exposed is Page to wildfire?
Page's 221 buildings earn a 55th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Page's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
Page's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Page's buildings (85.1% of 221) 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.
How Page compares
Page's risk sits at a similar level relative to North Dakota (63rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (55th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Page ranks 14,100 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,090 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 149 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
At the 55th national percentile, Page rates elevated 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 Page
Even with 85.1% of Page 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.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Page's 14,100-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Page, see the exposure-zones guide.
