Damar, KS
Damar, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Damar lands at the 57th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 161 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Damar at the 53rd national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Damar's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Damar's buildings (90.1% of 161) 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.
Damar against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Damar's 57th national percentile and its 45th percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Damar ranks 13,641 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,382 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 391 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Damar
At the 57th national percentile, Damar rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Damar
Even with 90.1% of Damar outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
