Oneida, KS
How exposed is Oneida to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Oneida lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 67 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 Oneida at the 72nd percentile, close to its 73rd-percentile risk score.
Oneida's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Oneida: 59.7% of its 67 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 40.3% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Oneida against the rest of the country
Oneida scores 73rd nationally and 71st within Kansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oneida ranks 8,542 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,383 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 213 of 721 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Oneida
Oneida's high rating (73rd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Oneida's 59.7% 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.
