Park, KS
How exposed is Park to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Park lands at the 26th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 161 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 23rd percentile nationally.
Where Park's buildings actually sit
Park rates 60.3% Minimal exposure against just 39.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 161 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Park against the rest of the country
Park's 26th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 6th ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 20 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Park ranks 23,286 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,383 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 676 of 721 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Park
Park's moderate rating (26th 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
Park's 60.3% 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.
