Galatia, KS
Galatia, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Galatia lands at the 39th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 84 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Galatia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 34th percentile nationally.
Galatia's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Galatia's buildings (64.3% of 84) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Galatia compares
Galatia's 39th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 15th ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Galatia ranks 19,312 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,728 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 614 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Galatia
Galatia's moderate wildfire rating (39th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Galatia
Even with 64.3% of Galatia 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.
More on how this number was built
Galatia's 39th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Galatia, see the exposure-zones guide.
