Lushton, NE
How exposed is Lushton to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lushton lands at the 17th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 73 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lushton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 12th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 34.3% of Lushton's 73 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 65.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Lushton compares
Lushton's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (8th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (17th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lushton ranks 26,165 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,181 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 537 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lushton
Lushton's low wildfire rating (17th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Lushton
With 65.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lushton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
