How exposed is Odin to wildfire?

Elevated
49thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Odin at the 49th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 157 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Odin at the 46th percentile, close to its 49th-percentile risk score.

65.6%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
34.4%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 65.6% of Odin's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 34.4% Minimal share — a profile where 103 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Odin against the rest of the country

Inside Kansas, Odin sits at just the 29th percentile even though it scores 49th 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, Odin ranks 16,128 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,565 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 510 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Odin

Odin's elevated rating (49th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

What would actually reduce this score

Odin's 65.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.

More on how this number was built

Odin's 49th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Odin, see the exposure-zones guide.
