Wilmore, KS
Wilmore, KS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Wilmore at the 100th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 81 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wilmore at the 100th percentile, close to its 100th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
81 buildings are counted in Wilmore, and 50.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Wilmore against the rest of the country
Wilmore scores 100th nationally and 100th 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, Wilmore ranks 135 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,844 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 2 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Wilmore and the insurance market
Wilmore's very high rating (100th 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
Wilmore's 50.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
