Farlington, KS
How exposed is Farlington to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Farlington lands at the 66th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 80 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Farlington's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 67th percentile nationally.
Farlington's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Farlington's 80 counted buildings, 86.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Farlington ranks
Farlington scores 66th nationally and 60th 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, Farlington ranks 10,676 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,877 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 283 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
Farlington's high rating (66th 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
Farlington's 86.3% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
