Lebanon, KS
Lebanon, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lebanon sits at the 21st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 357 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lebanon at the 17th national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lebanon's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Lebanon's buildings (94.7% of 357) 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.
Where Lebanon ranks
Inside Kansas, Lebanon sits at just the 4th percentile even though it scores 21st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lebanon ranks 24,803 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,127 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 695 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lebanon
At the 21st national percentile, Lebanon rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Lebanon's 94.7% 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.
