Huron, KS
Huron, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Huron at the 52nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 73 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Huron at the 52nd percentile, close to its 52nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Huron rates 72.6% Minimal exposure against just 27.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 73 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Huron ranks
Huron's 52nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 37th ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 16 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huron ranks 15,029 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,169 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 458 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
At the 52nd national percentile, Huron rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 72.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Huron gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Huron's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Huron's 15,029-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Huron's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
