Amity, MO
Amity, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Amity's 55 buildings earn a 61st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Amity at the 62nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 52.7% of Amity's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 47.3% Minimal share — a profile where 29 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Amity ranks
Amity scores 61st nationally and 59th within Missouri — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Amity ranks 12,265 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,790 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 435 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 61st percentile nationally, Amity carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Amity (52.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
