Danville, KS
Danville, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Danville at the 14th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 64 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Danville at the 10th percentile, close to its 14th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Danville rates 89.1% Minimal exposure against just 10.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 64 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Danville compares
There's little gap between Danville's 14th national percentile and its 1st percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Danville ranks 27,037 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,504 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 713 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Danville and the insurance market
At the 14th national percentile, Danville rates low 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
Danville's 89.1% 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.
