Chase, KS
Chase, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Chase's 341 buildings earn a 52nd-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Chase at the 47th percentile, close to its 52nd-percentile risk score.
Where Chase's buildings actually sit
Most of Chase's buildings (92.7% of 341) 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.
Chase against the rest of the country
Chase ranks lower within Kansas (35th percentile statewide) than its 52nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Chase ranks 15,279 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,548 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 470 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Chase
At the 52nd national percentile, Chase 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
Chase's 92.7% 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.
