Arthur, NE
Arthur, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Arthur's 162 buildings earn a 81st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Arthur at the 81st national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Arthur's buildings actually sit
Of Arthur's 162 counted buildings, 67.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Arthur compares
Arthur scores 81st nationally and 88th 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, Arthur ranks 5,964 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,345 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 70 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Arthur
At the 81st percentile nationally, Arthur carries the very 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Arthur's 67.3% 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.
More on how this number was built
Arthur's 81st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Arthur, see the exposure-zones guide.
