Dannebrog, NE
Dannebrog, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Dannebrog's 249 buildings earn a 62nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dannebrog at the 58th percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
Where Dannebrog's buildings actually sit
84.7% of Dannebrog's 249 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 15.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Dannebrog compares
Dannebrog scores 62nd nationally and 55th 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, Dannebrog ranks 11,879 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,176 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 266 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
At the 62nd percentile nationally, Dannebrog carries the 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Dannebrog (84.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Dannebrog's 62nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Dannebrog, see the exposure-zones guide.
