Edna, KS
Edna wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Edna lands at the 61st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 342 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edna's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 61st percentile nationally.
Edna's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 72.2% of Edna's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 27.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Edna ranks
There's little gap between Edna's 61st national percentile and its 54th percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edna ranks 12,262 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,513 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 332 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edna
Edna's high rating (61st 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 72.2% of Edna 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.

The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 342 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Edna. The exposure-zones guide covers what Edna's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
