Glenvil, NE
Glenvil, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Glenvil lands at the 64th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 220 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glenvil at the 58th national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Glenvil's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Glenvil (92.3% of 220 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 7.7% sit in the Direct zone.
Glenvil against the rest of the country
Glenvil's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (56th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (64th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glenvil ranks 11,444 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,132 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 256 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 64th percentile nationally, Glenvil 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
Glenvil's 92.3% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Glenvil's figures come from
Glenvil's 64th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Glenvil's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
