Inglewood, NE
How exposed is Inglewood to wildfire?
Inglewood's 226 buildings earn a 68th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Inglewood at the 65th percentile, close to its 68th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
91.2% of Inglewood's 226 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 8.9% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Inglewood compares
Inglewood's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (66th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (68th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Inglewood ranks 9,963 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,921 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 200 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Inglewood
At the 68th percentile nationally, Inglewood 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 91.2% of Inglewood's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
