Spring Hill, KS
Spring Hill wildfire risk explained
Spring Hill sits at the 51st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,958 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Spring Hill at the 51st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Spring Hill's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 42.5% of Spring Hill's 2,958 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 23.9% Direct and 33.7% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Spring Hill ranks
Spring Hill's 51st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 33rd ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 17 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Spring Hill ranks 15,562 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,502 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 483 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Spring Hill
Spring Hill's elevated wildfire rating (51st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 42.5% of Spring Hill's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
