Stromsburg, NE
Stromsburg, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Stromsburg at the 17th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 804 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Stromsburg at the 13th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Stromsburg's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 10.6% of Stromsburg's 804 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 89.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Stromsburg against the rest of the country
Stromsburg scores 17th nationally and 8th within Nebraska — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stromsburg ranks 26,319 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,601 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 539 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 17th national percentile, Stromsburg rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Stromsburg
Stromsburg's 89.4% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
