Coffeyville, KS
Coffeyville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Coffeyville at the 60th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 5,428 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Coffeyville at the 60th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
86.3% of Coffeyville's 5,428 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 13.7% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 5,428 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Coffeyville ranks
Coffeyville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (52nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (60th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Coffeyville ranks 12,761 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,184 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 347 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Coffeyville and the insurance market
Coffeyville's elevated wildfire rating (60th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Coffeyville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
