Rossville, KS
Rossville, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rossville's 515 buildings earn a 58th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rossville at the 57th percentile, close to its 58th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Rossville's buildings (84.1% of 515) 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.
Rossville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Rossville's 58th national percentile and its 48th percentile inside Kansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rossville ranks 13,361 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,101 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 379 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rossville
Rossville'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 84.1% of Rossville 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.
Where Rossville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rossville's 13,361-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rossville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
