Woodworth's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Woodworth: 52.3% of its 130 buildings, versus 47.7% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Woodworth ranks
Woodworth scores 51st nationally and 54th within North 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, Woodworth ranks 15,607 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,728 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Dakota alone, it ranks 188 of 402 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Dakota on its state page.
Woodworth and the insurance market
Woodworth's elevated wildfire rating (51st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Woodworth's 52.3% 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.
