Conway Springs, KS
How exposed is Conway Springs to wildfire?
Conway Springs sits at the 21st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 767 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Conway Springs at the 17th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Conway Springs's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 6.9% of Conway Springs's 767 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 93.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Conway Springs compares
Conway Springs ranks lower within Kansas (3rd percentile statewide) than its 21st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Conway Springs ranks 24,859 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,942 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 698 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Conway Springs and the insurance market
At the 21st national percentile, Conway Springs rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Conway Springs gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
