Prague, NE
Prague, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Prague at the 58th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 245 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Prague's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 51st percentile nationally.
Where Prague's buildings actually sit
Most of Prague's buildings (76.7% of 245) 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.
How Prague compares
Prague's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (47th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (58th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Prague ranks 13,117 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,303 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 309 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Prague and the insurance market
At the 58th national percentile, Prague rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Prague
With 76.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Prague gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Prague's figures come from
Prague's 58th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Prague's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
