Bremen, KS
Bremen, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Bremen at the 69th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 84 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bremen at the 59th national percentile — 10 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Bremen's buildings actually sit
Most of Bremen's buildings (52.4% of 84) 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 Bremen ranks
Bremen's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (66th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (69th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bremen ranks 9,768 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,727 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 247 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bremen
At the 69th percentile nationally, Bremen 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.
Hardening a home in Bremen
Even with 52.4% of Bremen outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Bremen's figures come from
Bremen's 69th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Bremen's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
