Brashear, MO
How exposed is Brashear to wildfire?
Brashear sits at the 57th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 225 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Brashear's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 58th percentile nationally.
Where Brashear's buildings actually sit
Brashear rates 47.6% Minimal exposure against just 33.8% Direct and 18.7% Indirect — of 225 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Brashear compares
Brashear scores 57th nationally and 46th 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, Brashear ranks 13,675 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,950 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 575 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Brashear
Brashear's elevated wildfire rating (57th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Brashear
With 47.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Brashear gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
