Edgar, NE
Edgar, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Edgar's 447 buildings earn a 9th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Edgar at the 7th percentile, close to its 9th-percentile risk score.
Where Edgar's buildings actually sit
87.3% of Edgar's 447 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 12.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Edgar ranks
Edgar scores 9th nationally and 4th 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, Edgar ranks 28,777 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,335 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 559 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edgar
Edgar's low rating (9th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Edgar's 87.3% 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
Edgar's 9th-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 Edgar, see the exposure-zones guide.
