Inman, NE
Inman, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Inman's 118 buildings earn a 77th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Inman at the 74th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Inman's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Inman: 50.8% of its 118 buildings, versus 49.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Inman ranks
Inman's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (82nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (77th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Inman ranks 7,187 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,263 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 108 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Inman
At the 77th percentile nationally, Inman 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 Direct exposure dominates in Inman (50.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
