Partridge, KS
Partridge wildfire risk explained
Partridge's 200 buildings earn a 41st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Partridge at the 32nd national percentile — 9 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Partridge's buildings actually sit
Only 18% of Partridge's 200 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 82% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Partridge compares
Partridge's 41st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 17th ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Partridge ranks 18,557 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,838 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 596 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Partridge
Partridge's elevated rating (41st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Partridge
Partridge's 82% 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.
