Eagle, NE
Eagle wildfire risk explained
Eagle's 581 buildings earn a 68th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eagle at the 62nd national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Eagle's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 4.5% of Eagle's 581 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 95.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Eagle against the rest of the country
Eagle scores 68th nationally and 65th 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, Eagle ranks 10,090 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,096 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 204 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Eagle
At the 68th percentile nationally, Eagle 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.
Hardening a home in Eagle
Eagle's 95.5% 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.
More on how this number was built
Eagle's 68th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Eagle, see the exposure-zones guide.
