Geneva, NE
Geneva wildfire risk explained
Geneva's 1,441 buildings earn a 31st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Geneva's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 25th percentile nationally.
Where Geneva's buildings actually sit
Geneva rates 91.3% Minimal exposure against just 8.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,441 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Geneva compares
There's little gap between Geneva's 31st national percentile and its 16th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Geneva ranks 21,774 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,424 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 489 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Geneva and the insurance market
Geneva's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 91.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Geneva gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Geneva's 31st-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 Geneva, see the exposure-zones guide.
