Quinter, KS
Quinter, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Quinter at the 21st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 666 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Quinter at the 18th percentile, close to its 21st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 86.9% of Quinter's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 13.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Quinter ranks
Inside Kansas, Quinter sits at just the 3rd percentile even though it scores 21st 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, Quinter ranks 24,831 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,999 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 697 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Quinter
Quinter's moderate rating (21st 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
With 86.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Quinter gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
