Collyer, KS
Collyer, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Collyer at the 40th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 147 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Collyer at the 36th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Collyer's building exposure, zone by zone
Collyer rates 64% Minimal exposure against just 36.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 147 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Collyer ranks
Inside Kansas, Collyer sits at just the 16th percentile even though it scores 40th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Collyer ranks 19,029 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,984 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 607 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Collyer
Collyer's moderate rating (40th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Collyer's 64% 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.
