Springbrook, ND
How exposed is Springbrook to wildfire?
Springbrook sits at the 74th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 62 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Springbrook at the 72nd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Springbrook's building exposure, zone by zone
62 buildings are counted in Springbrook, and 96.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Springbrook ranks
Springbrook's 91st-percentile standing inside North Dakota outpaces its 74th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Springbrook ranks 8,298 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,591 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 39 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
Springbrook's high rating (74th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Springbrook's 96.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Springbrook's figures come from
Springbrook's 74th-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 Springbrook's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
