Cedar Point, KS
Cedar Point wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Cedar Point at the 77th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 49 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Cedar Point at the 70th percentile, close to its 77th-percentile risk score.
Where Cedar Point's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 55.1% of Cedar Point's 49 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 44.9% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Cedar Point compares
Cedar Point's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (74th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (77th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cedar Point ranks 7,404 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,954 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 189 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cedar Point
Cedar Point's high rating (77th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 55.1% of Cedar Point's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Cedar Point's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Cedar Point's 7,404-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Cedar Point's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
