Jansen, NE
How exposed is Jansen to wildfire?
Jansen's 138 buildings earn a 62nd-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 Jansen at the 50th national percentile — 12 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Jansen's building exposure, zone by zone
Jansen rates 70.3% Minimal exposure against just 29.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 138 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Jansen ranks
There's little gap between Jansen's 62nd national percentile and its 54th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jansen ranks 12,137 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,370 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 271 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Jansen
Jansen's high rating (62nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 70.3% of Jansen 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.
