Reile's Acres, ND
Reile's Acres, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Reile's Acres lands at the 45th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 240 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Reile's Acres's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 45th percentile nationally.
Where Reile's Acres's buildings actually sit
Reile's Acres rates 73.8% Minimal exposure against just 26.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 240 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Reile's Acres compares
Reile's Acres's risk sits at a similar level relative to North Dakota (37th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (45th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reile's Acres ranks 17,434 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,474 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 253 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Reile's Acres and the insurance market
Reile's Acres's elevated rating (45th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 73.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Reile's Acres gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Reile's Acres's figures come from
Reile's Acres's 45th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Reile's Acres's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
