Table Rock, NE
Table Rock, NE's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Table Rock lands at the 79th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 294 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Table Rock's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 76th percentile nationally.
Table Rock's building exposure, zone by zone
74.8% of Table Rock's 294 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 14.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Table Rock ranks
There's little gap between Table Rock's 79th national percentile and its 85th percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Table Rock ranks 6,559 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,795 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 89 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
Table Rock's 79th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
With 74.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Table Rock gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Table Rock's figures come from
Table Rock's 79th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Table Rock's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
