Warwick, ND
Warwick wildfire risk explained
Warwick sits at the 78th 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 110 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Warwick at the 77th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Warwick's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Warwick: 63.6% of its 110 buildings, versus 34.6% Indirect and 1.8% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Warwick compares
Compare Warwick's two percentiles: 93rd within North Dakota, only 78th nationally — a gap of 16 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warwick ranks 7,029 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,631 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 28 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Warwick
At the 78th percentile nationally, Warwick carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Warwick
Warwick's 63.6% 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 Warwick's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Warwick's 7,029-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Warwick's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
