Narka, KS
How exposed is Narka to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Narka lands at the 32nd 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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Narka's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
Where Narka's buildings actually sit
Narka rates 70.7% Minimal exposure against just 29.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 92 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Narka compares
Inside Kansas, Narka sits at just the 11th percentile even though it scores 32nd 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, Narka ranks 21,456 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,400 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 641 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Narka
Narka's moderate rating (32nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 70.7% of Narka outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
