New Cambria, KS
New Cambria, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
New Cambria's 125 buildings earn a 21st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, New Cambria's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of New Cambria's buildings (93.6% of 125) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How New Cambria compares
New Cambria ranks lower within Kansas (3rd percentile statewide) than its 21st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, New Cambria ranks 25,056 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,941 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 700 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
New Cambria's moderate wildfire rating (21st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in New Cambria
Even with 93.6% of New Cambria 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.
