Yoder, KS
How exposed is Yoder to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Yoder lands at the 48th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 207 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Yoder at the 45th percentile, close to its 48th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 28.5% of Yoder's 207 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 71.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Yoder against the rest of the country
Inside Kansas, Yoder sits at just the 26th percentile even though it scores 48th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Yoder ranks 16,541 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,596 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kansas alone, it ranks 533 of 721 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Yoder
At the 48th national percentile, Yoder rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 71.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Yoder gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
