Jetmore, KS
How exposed is Jetmore to wildfire?
Jetmore's 780 buildings earn a 65th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jetmore's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 62nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
77.6% of Jetmore's 780 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 17.4% Direct and 5% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Jetmore compares
There's little gap between Jetmore's 65th national percentile and its 60th percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jetmore ranks 10,999 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,814 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 290 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Jetmore
At the 65th percentile nationally, Jetmore carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 77.6% of Jetmore's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Jetmore's figures come from
Jetmore's 65th-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 Jetmore's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
