Langdon, KS

How exposed is Langdon to wildfire?

Very High
95thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Langdon at the 95th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 57 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Langdon at the 93rd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Langdon's building exposure, zone by zone

57Total buildings
31.6%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
68.4%Minimal exposure

Most of Langdon's buildings (68.4% of 57) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

How Langdon compares

Langdon scores 95th nationally and 96th 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, Langdon ranks 1,634 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,738 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 30 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Langdon

At the 95th percentile nationally, Langdon carries the very 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

Langdon's 68.4% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.

More on how this number was built

Langdon's 95th-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 Langdon, see the exposure-zones guide.
