Lebanon, NE
Lebanon, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lebanon's 95 buildings earn a 54th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lebanon at the 52nd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lebanon's building exposure, zone by zone
74.7% of Lebanon's 95 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 25.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Lebanon compares
Lebanon's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (41st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (54th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lebanon ranks 14,471 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,278 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 345 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Lebanon and the insurance market
Lebanon's elevated rating (54th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 74.7% of Lebanon'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.
More on how this number was built
Lebanon's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Lebanon, see the exposure-zones guide.
