Wann, NE
Wann wildfire risk explained
Wann sits at the 73rd 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 97 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Wann's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 68th percentile nationally.
Wann's building exposure, zone by zone
84.5% of Wann's 97 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 82 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 9.3% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 6.2% are Minimal.
How Wann compares
Wann scores 73rd nationally and 74th 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, Wann ranks 8,510 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,185 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 152 of 583 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Nebraska on its state page.
Wann and the insurance market
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Wann carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Wann
Wann's 84.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
