White City, KS
White City, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
White City's 430 buildings earn a 87th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks White City at the 81st national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
White City's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of White City's buildings (67.9% of 430) 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.
Where White City ranks
White City's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kansas (87th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (87th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, White City ranks 4,222 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,645 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 96 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in White City
White City's very high rating (87th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 67.9% of White City 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.

The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 430 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for White City. The exposure-zones guide covers what White City's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
