How Webber compares

Webber's 42nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 18th ranking inside Kansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Webber ranks 18,181 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,963 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 590 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Webber

Webber's elevated rating (42nd 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

Webber's 73.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
