Strang, NE
How exposed is Strang to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Strang at the 19th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 65 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Strang at the 14th percentile, close to its 19th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 32.3% of Strang's 65 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 67.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Strang compares
There's little gap between Strang's 19th national percentile and its 9th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Strang ranks 25,657 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,467 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 530 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Strang
Strang's low wildfire rating (19th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 67.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Strang gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
