Dwight, KS
How exposed is Dwight to wildfire?
Dwight's 228 buildings earn a 78th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dwight at the 70th percentile, close to its 78th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 21.1% of Dwight's 228 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 79% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Dwight against the rest of the country
Dwight scores 78th nationally and 75th 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, Dwight ranks 7,025 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,852 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 179 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dwight
Dwight's high rating (78th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 79% of Dwight 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.
