Naponee, NE
Naponee, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Naponee lands at the 47th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 154 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Naponee at the 46th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Naponee's building exposure, zone by zone
Naponee rates 87.7% Minimal exposure against just 12.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 154 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Naponee against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Naponee's 47th national percentile and its 33rd percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Naponee ranks 16,708 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,710 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 393 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.

Hardening a home in Naponee
Naponee's 87.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Naponee's 47th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Naponee, see the exposure-zones guide.
