Tuttle, ND
Tuttle, ND's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Tuttle's 142 buildings earn a 50th-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, Tuttle's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 47th percentile nationally.
Where Tuttle's buildings actually sit
Most of Tuttle's buildings (66.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Tuttle against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Tuttle's 50th national percentile and its 51st percentile inside North Dakota, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tuttle ranks 15,827 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,217 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 198 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tuttle
Tuttle's elevated rating (50th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Tuttle (66.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
