Alliance, NE
Alliance wildfire risk explained
Alliance's 4,616 buildings earn a 64th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Alliance at the 56th national percentile — 8 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Alliance's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 3.4% of Alliance's 4,616 buildings carry Direct exposure and 1% carry Indirect; the remaining 95.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Alliance ranks
Alliance scores 64th nationally and 56th within Nebraska — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Alliance ranks 11,510 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,684 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 259 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Alliance
At the 64th percentile nationally, Alliance 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Alliance's 95.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
