Arcadia, NE
Arcadia, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Arcadia lands at the 78th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 339 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Arcadia at the 71st percentile, close to its 78th-percentile risk score.
Arcadia's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Arcadia (91.7% of 339 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 8.3% sit in the Direct zone.
Arcadia against the rest of the country
Arcadia's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (83rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (78th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Arcadia ranks 6,938 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,597 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 100 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Arcadia
Arcadia's high rating (78th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Arcadia
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Arcadia (91.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
