Kansas · Off-grid & homestead potential
Clark County scores 37/100 on the Bolthole Index, a marginal county profile. Its strengths are deep seclusion — about 52 people within a 30-minute drive and manageable long-term carry cost. The trade-offs: thin water margin (23″/yr rainfall) and elevated mid-century heat, water, rain, or wildfire exposure.
