Mulvane, KS
Mulvane wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Mulvane at the 59th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 2,857 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mulvane's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 53rd percentile nationally.
Mulvane's building exposure, zone by zone
91% of Mulvane's 2,857 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Mulvane ranks
There's little gap between Mulvane's 59th national percentile and its 52nd percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mulvane ranks 12,857 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,653 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 350 of 721 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Mulvane
Mulvane's elevated rating (59th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Mulvane
Mulvane's 91% 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.
