LeRoy, KS
How exposed is LeRoy to wildfire?
LeRoy's 485 buildings earn a 45th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, LeRoy's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 45th percentile nationally.
LeRoy's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of LeRoy's buildings (68.9% of 485) 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.
LeRoy against the rest of the country
LeRoy's 45th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 21st ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, LeRoy ranks 17,422 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,609 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 570 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
LeRoy's elevated wildfire rating (45th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in LeRoy
With 68.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, LeRoy gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where LeRoy's figures come from
LeRoy's 45th-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 LeRoy's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
