Roseland, NE
How exposed is Roseland to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Roseland lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 211 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roseland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
92.4% of Roseland's 211 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 7.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Roseland ranks
There's little gap between Roseland's 5th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roseland ranks 29,888 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,443 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 570 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Roseland and the insurance market
Roseland's low rating (5th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Roseland
With 92.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Roseland gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 211 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Roseland. The exposure-zones guide covers what Roseland's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
