Bradshaw, NE
How exposed is Bradshaw to wildfire?
Bradshaw's 245 buildings earn a 6th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bradshaw at the 5th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Bradshaw's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 13.9% of Bradshaw's 245 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 86.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Bradshaw ranks
Bradshaw's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (3rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (6th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bradshaw ranks 29,695 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,302 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 566 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Bradshaw and the insurance market
At the 6th national percentile, Bradshaw rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Bradshaw gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Bradshaw's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Bradshaw's 29,695-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Bradshaw's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
