Pisek, ND
Pisek, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Pisek at the 30th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 104 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Pisek at the 30th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Pisek's buildings actually sit
Only 16.4% of Pisek's 104 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.
Pisek against the rest of the country
Inside North Dakota, Pisek sits at just the 12th percentile even though it scores 30th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pisek ranks 21,941 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,857 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 352 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Pisek
Pisek's moderate wildfire rating (30th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Pisek's 83.7% 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.
