Regan, ND
Regan, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Regan at the 37th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 98 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Regan at the 27th percentile, lower than its 37th-percentile risk score, because so much is actually built here.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 62.2% of Regan's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 37.8% Minimal share — a profile where 61 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Regan against the rest of the country
Regan's 37th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 20th ranking inside North Dakota does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 18 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Regan ranks 19,768 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,144 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 323 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Regan
At the 37th national percentile, Regan rates moderate 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 Regan
Because Direct exposure dominates in Regan (62.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
