Radley, KS
How exposed is Radley to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Radley lands at the 58th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 72 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Radley at the 59th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 69.4% of Radley's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 30.6% Minimal share — a profile where 50 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Radley against the rest of the country
Radley scores 58th nationally and 48th 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, Radley ranks 13,329 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,203 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 377 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Radley's elevated rating (58th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
