Anthony, KS
How exposed is Anthony to wildfire?
Anthony's 1,722 buildings earn a 57th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Anthony at the 52nd national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Anthony rates 65.1% Minimal exposure against just 10.9% Direct and 24% Indirect — of 1,722 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Anthony against the rest of the country
Anthony's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (47th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (57th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Anthony ranks 13,391 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,331 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 380 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Anthony and the insurance market
Anthony's elevated rating (57th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 65.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Anthony gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
