Holyrood, KS

How exposed is Holyrood to wildfire?

Elevated
47thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Holyrood lands at the 47th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 435 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Holyrood at the 43rd percentile, close to its 47th-percentile risk score.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

435Total buildings
10.3%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
89.7%Minimal exposure

Holyrood rates 89.7% Minimal exposure against just 10.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 435 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Where Holyrood ranks

Holyrood's 47th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 24th ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 22 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Holyrood ranks 16,794 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,549 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 545 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

Holyrood's elevated rating (47th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

With 89.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Holyrood gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

More on how this number was built

Holyrood's 47th-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 Holyrood, see the exposure-zones guide.
