Ramona, KS
How exposed is Ramona to wildfire?
USFS scores Ramona at the 57th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 121 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ramona's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 51st percentile nationally.
Where Ramona's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 57.9% of Ramona's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 42.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Ramona against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Ramona's 57th national percentile and its 47th percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ramona ranks 13,517 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,108 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 387 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
At the 57th national percentile, Ramona rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 57.9% of Ramona outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
