Hampton, NE
Hampton, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hampton at the 13th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 322 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hampton at the 10th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Hampton's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 96% of Hampton's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Hampton ranks
There's little gap between Hampton's 13th national percentile and its 6th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hampton ranks 27,425 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,038 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 551 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hampton
Hampton's low rating (13th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Hampton
With 96% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hampton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
