Woodbine, KS
How exposed is Woodbine to wildfire?
Woodbine sits at the 84th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 158 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodbine at the 78th percentile, close to its 84th-percentile risk score.
Where Woodbine's buildings actually sit
92.4% of Woodbine's 158 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 7.6% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Woodbine compares
Woodbine scores 84th nationally and 84th 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, Woodbine ranks 5,016 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,527 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 119 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodbine
Woodbine's very high rating (84th 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
Woodbine's 92.4% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
