Woodland Park, NE
How exposed is Woodland Park to wildfire?
Woodland Park sits at the 85th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 757 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 Woodland Park at the 77th percentile, close to its 85th-percentile risk score.
Where Woodland Park's buildings actually sit
757 buildings are counted in Woodland Park, and 82.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 11.2% in Direct exposure or the 6.6% rated Minimal.
Woodland Park against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Woodland Park's 85th national percentile and its 92nd percentile inside Nebraska, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland Park ranks 4,764 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,043 by building count (1 is largest). Within Nebraska alone, it ranks 45 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
Woodland Park's very high rating (85th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Woodland Park's 82.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
