Real winter-storm and tornado risk

Brandon's eastern South Dakota, Sioux Falls-metro location carries real winter-storm exposure and real, though not dramatically elevated, tornado risk typical of the broader Great Plains corridor.

No formal wildfire-risk tag

Brandon's non-forested eastern-plains setting carries genuinely limited wildfire exposure relative to this project's Black Hills South Dakota markets.

Likely statewide-average or modestly elevated insurance costs

South Dakota's statewide homeowners-insurance average runs $2,792-$3,637/year; Brandon's own elevated property values may push actual premiums toward the higher end of that range in dollar terms, even without the Black Hills wildfire-driven rate elevation.
