Beverly Hills, MO
Beverly Hills, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Beverly Hills's 305 buildings earn a 44th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Beverly Hills at the 48th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Beverly Hills's buildings actually sit
100% of Beverly Hills's 305 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 0% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Beverly Hills against the rest of the country
Inside Missouri, Beverly Hills sits at just the 21st percentile even though it scores 44th 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, Beverly Hills ranks 17,709 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,503 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 839 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Beverly Hills and the insurance market
At the 44th national percentile, Beverly Hills 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
Even with 100% of Beverly Hills outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
