Henry, NE
Henry, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Henry lands at the 71st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 109 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Henry's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 71st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Henry (60.6% of 109 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 39.5% sit in the Direct zone.
How Henry compares
Henry scores 71st nationally and 71st 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, Henry ranks 9,174 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,665 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 168 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Henry
Henry's 71st-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Henry
Henry's 60.6% 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.
