Mission Woods, KS
Mission Woods, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mission Woods lands at the 29th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 92 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Mission Woods at the 33rd percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
Where Mission Woods's buildings actually sit
Only 26.1% of Mission Woods's 92 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 73.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Mission Woods compares
Inside Kansas, Mission Woods sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 29th 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, Mission Woods ranks 22,276 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,399 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 653 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Mission Woods and the insurance market
At the 29th national percentile, Mission Woods 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
Mission Woods's 73.9% 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.
