Saronville, NE
Saronville, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Saronville's 48 buildings earn a 35th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Saronville at the 30th national percentile — 5 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
77.1% of Saronville's 48 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 22.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Saronville compares
Inside Nebraska, Saronville sits at just the 19th percentile even though it scores 35th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Saronville ranks 20,456 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,980 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 470 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Saronville and the insurance market
Saronville's moderate rating (35th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 77.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Saronville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
