Dunlap, KS
Dunlap, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Dunlap lands at the 88th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 41 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dunlap's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 83rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
68.3% of Dunlap's 41 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 31.7% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Dunlap ranks
Dunlap scores 88th nationally and 88th within Kansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dunlap ranks 3,905 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,139 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 88 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Dunlap and the insurance market
Dunlap's 88th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Dunlap
Even with 68.3% of Dunlap 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.
Where Dunlap's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Dunlap's 3,905-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Dunlap's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
