Reynolds, NE
Reynolds, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Reynolds lands at the 79th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 98 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Reynolds's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 72nd percentile nationally.
Where Reynolds's buildings actually sit
98 buildings are counted in Reynolds, and 55.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 44.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Reynolds against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Reynolds's 79th national percentile and its 85th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reynolds ranks 6,527 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,138 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 88 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Reynolds
Reynolds's high rating (79th 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
Reynolds's 55.1% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Reynolds's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Reynolds's 6,527-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Reynolds's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
