Enders, NE
Enders wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Enders at the 54th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 67 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 Enders at the 50th percentile, close to its 54th-percentile risk score.
Where Enders's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 58.2% of Enders's 67 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 41.8% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Enders compares
Enders scores 54th nationally and 41st 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, Enders ranks 14,595 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,391 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 347 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Enders and the insurance market
At the 54th national percentile, Enders rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 58.2% of Enders's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Enders's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Enders's 14,595-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Enders's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
