Grant, NE
How exposed is Grant to wildfire?
USFS scores Grant at the 34th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 874 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Grant's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
Where Grant's buildings actually sit
92.8% of Grant's 874 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 7.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Grant against the rest of the country
Grant ranks lower within Nebraska (19th percentile statewide) than its 34th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grant ranks 20,734 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,958 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 476 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 34th national percentile, Grant rates moderate 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
Even with 92.8% of Grant outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
