Logan, KS
Logan wildfire risk explained
Logan's 558 buildings earn a 56th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Logan at the 54th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Logan's buildings (93.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Logan ranks
There's little gap between Logan's 56th national percentile and its 45th percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Logan ranks 13,803 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,440 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 397 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Logan and the insurance market
At the 56th national percentile, Logan rates elevated 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Logan (93.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Logan's figures come from
Logan's 56th-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 Logan's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
