Bartlett, KS
Bartlett, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Bartlett's 100 buildings earn a 63rd-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, Bartlett's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
Where Bartlett's buildings actually sit
Most of Bartlett's buildings (54% of 100) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Bartlett ranks
Bartlett's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (58th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (63rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bartlett ranks 11,533 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,025 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 304 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Bartlett and the insurance market
Bartlett's 63rd-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Bartlett's 54% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
