Liebenthal, KS
Liebenthal wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Liebenthal lands at the 47th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 111 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Liebenthal at the 44th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Liebenthal's buildings actually sit
Liebenthal rates 91% Minimal exposure against just 9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 111 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
