Stratton, NE
Stratton, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Stratton sits at the 66th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 394 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Stratton at the 66th percentile, close to its 66th-percentile risk score.
Where Stratton's buildings actually sit
394 buildings are counted in Stratton, and 80.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 19.8% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Stratton ranks
There's little gap between Stratton's 66th national percentile and its 61st percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stratton ranks 10,687 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,333 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 230 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Stratton and the insurance market
Stratton's high rating (66th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Stratton
Because 80.2% of Stratton's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Stratton's 66th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Stratton, see the exposure-zones guide.
