Bogue, KS
Bogue, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Bogue sits at the 58th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 167 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Bogue's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Where Bogue's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Bogue (93.4% of 167 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 6.6% sit in the Direct zone.
How Bogue compares
Bogue scores 58th nationally and 48th 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, Bogue ranks 13,301 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,132 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 373 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Bogue and the insurance market
At the 58th national percentile, Bogue rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Bogue (93.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Bogue's 58th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Bogue, see the exposure-zones guide.
