Kingman, KS
Kingman, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Kingman lands at the 90th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 2,201 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Kingman's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 90th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Kingman (73% of 2,201 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 18% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Kingman ranks
There's little gap between Kingman's 90th national percentile and its 91st percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kingman ranks 3,084 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,933 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 68 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kingman
Kingman's very high rating (90th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 73% of Kingman'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 Kingman's figures come from
Kingman's 90th-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 Kingman's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
