Webber, KS
Webber wildfire risk explained
Webber's 78 buildings earn a 42nd-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Webber's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 39th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 26.9% of Webber's 78 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 73.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
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.
