Robinson, KS

How exposed is Robinson to wildfire?

High
61stpercentile nationally

Robinson sits at the 61st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 194 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Robinson at the 61st national percentile — 0 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

194Total buildings
19.6%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
80.4%Minimal exposure

Most of Robinson's buildings (80.4% of 194) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Where Robinson ranks

There's little gap between Robinson's 61st national percentile and its 53rd percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Robinson ranks 12,446 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,073 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 339 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.

Robinson and the insurance market

At the 61st percentile nationally, Robinson carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

With 80.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Robinson gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
