Real tornado risk in Tornado Alley

Garden City sits within Kansas's real, statewide tornado risk zone, historically part of 'Tornado Alley.'

Real drought and wildfire exposure

Western Kansas carries real, genuine drought risk, and the March 2017 Starbuck Fire -- the largest wildfire in Kansas history -- burned across the surrounding southwest Kansas region.

Elevated statewide insurance costs

No Garden City-specific premium data distinct from Kansas's own statewide figures was found this pass; Kansas rates run real, currently elevated statewide given the state's genuine hail, tornado, and wildfire exposure.
