Delia, KS
Delia, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Delia's 107 buildings earn a 65th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Delia at the 65th national percentile — 0 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
93.5% of Delia's 107 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 6.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Delia compares
There's little gap between Delia's 65th national percentile and its 59th percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Delia ranks 11,156 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,731 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 295 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Delia's high rating (65th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Delia's 93.5% 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.
