Ravenna, NE
How exposed is Ravenna to wildfire?
Ravenna sits at the 66th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 954 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ravenna's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 95.4% of Ravenna's 954 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 4.6% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Ravenna ranks
Ravenna scores 66th nationally and 61st within Nebraska — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ravenna ranks 10,686 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,278 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 229 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ravenna
Ravenna's high rating (66th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 95.4% of Ravenna'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.
