Creighton, NE
How exposed is Creighton to wildfire?
Creighton sits at the 67th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 965 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Creighton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Creighton's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 15% of Creighton's 965 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 85% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Creighton against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Creighton's 67th national percentile and its 63rd percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Creighton ranks 10,404 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,186 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 217 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Creighton
Creighton's high rating (67th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Creighton's 85% 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.
