Rosalie, NE
How exposed is Rosalie to wildfire?
Rosalie's 125 buildings earn a 55th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rosalie at the 49th percentile, close to its 55th-percentile risk score.
Where Rosalie's buildings actually sit
Most of Rosalie's buildings (72.8% of 125) 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 Rosalie ranks
Rosalie's risk sits at a similar level relative to Nebraska (43rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (55th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rosalie ranks 14,062 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,953 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 333 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
Rosalie's elevated wildfire rating (55th 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 Rosalie
Rosalie's 72.8% 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 Rosalie's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rosalie's 14,062-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rosalie's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
