Primrose, NE
Primrose, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Primrose's 91 buildings earn a 53rd-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Primrose at the 47th national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Primrose's buildings (53.9% of 91) 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.
Primrose against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Primrose's 53rd national percentile and its 40th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Primrose ranks 14,909 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,455 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 353 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 53rd national percentile, Primrose 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 Primrose
Primrose's 53.9% 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.
Where Primrose's figures come from
Primrose's 53rd-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 Primrose's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
