Bonner Springs, KS
Bonner Springs wildfire risk explained
Bonner Springs's 3,589 buildings earn a 53rd-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Bonner Springs's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
Where Bonner Springs's buildings actually sit
53.7% of Bonner Springs's 3,589 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 37.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Bonner Springs ranks
Bonner Springs's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (39th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (53rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bonner Springs ranks 14,715 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,668 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 444 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 53rd national percentile, Bonner Springs rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Bonner Springs
With 53.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Bonner Springs gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Bonner Springs's 53rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Bonner Springs, see the exposure-zones guide.
