Two Strike, SD
Two Strike, SD's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Two Strike's 108 buildings earn a 88th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Two Strike at the 87th percentile, close to its 88th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 100% of Two Strike's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 108 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Two Strike compares
Two Strike scores 88th nationally and 90th within South Dakota — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Two Strike ranks 3,700 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,716 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Dakota alone, it ranks 46 of 439 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Dakota on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Two Strike's 88th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Two Strike
Because Direct exposure dominates in Two Strike (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Two Strike's 88th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Two Strike, see the exposure-zones guide.
