Uniontown, KS
Uniontown, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Uniontown at the 70th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 183 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Uniontown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 71st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Uniontown's buildings (85.3%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Uniontown ranks
Uniontown scores 70th nationally and 67th 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, Uniontown ranks 9,486 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,500 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 237 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
Uniontown's high rating (70th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Uniontown
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Uniontown (85.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Uniontown's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Uniontown's 9,486-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Uniontown's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
