Stockham, NE
How exposed is Stockham to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Stockham at the 40th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 54 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Stockham's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
Where Stockham's buildings actually sit
Only 27.8% of Stockham's 54 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 72.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
