Wright, KS
Wright wildfire risk explained
Wright's 150 buildings earn a 37th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wright at the 33rd percentile, close to its 37th-percentile risk score.
Wright's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Wright's buildings (86% of 150) 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.
How Wright compares
Wright ranks lower within Kansas (14th percentile statewide) than its 37th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wright ranks 19,818 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,879 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 624 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wright
Wright's moderate rating (37th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Wright gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Wright's figures come from
Wright's 37th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Wright's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
