Green, KS
How exposed is Green to wildfire?
USFS scores Green at the 69th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 125 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Green at the 61st percentile, close to its 69th-percentile risk score.
Where Green's buildings actually sit
73.6% of Green's 125 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 26.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Green ranks
Green scores 69th nationally and 66th 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, Green ranks 9,699 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,940 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 245 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
Green's high rating (69th 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 73.6% of Green 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 Green's figures come from
Green's 69th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Green's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
