Morrill, NE
Morrill, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Morrill's 667 buildings earn a 56th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Morrill at the 55th percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
Where Morrill's buildings actually sit
Most of Morrill's buildings (91.3%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Morrill against the rest of the country
Morrill's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (43rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (56th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Morrill ranks 14,033 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,989 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 332 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Morrill
Morrill's elevated wildfire rating (56th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 91.3% of Morrill'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
Morrill's 56th-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 Morrill, see the exposure-zones guide.
