Attica, KS
Attica, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Attica's 516 buildings earn a 68th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Attica's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 65th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 13.6% of Attica's 516 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 86.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Attica ranks
Attica scores 68th nationally and 65th within Kansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Attica ranks 9,988 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,088 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 253 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 68th percentile nationally, Attica 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Attica gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
