Page, NE
How exposed is Page to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Page at the 24th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 152 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Page at the 21st national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Page's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Page's buildings (75.7% of 152) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Page ranks
There's little gap between Page's 24th national percentile and its 12th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Page ranks 23,925 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,811 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 516 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Page and the insurance market
Page's moderate wildfire rating (24th 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 Page
Even with 75.7% of Page 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.
