Burr, NE
Burr wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Burr at the 70th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 90 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Burr at the 63rd percentile, close to its 70th-percentile risk score.
Burr's building exposure, zone by zone
93.3% of Burr's 90 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 6.7% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Burr compares
Burr scores 70th nationally and 69th 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, Burr ranks 9,427 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,498 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 180 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Burr's high rating (70th 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 Burr
With 93.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Burr gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
