Braymer, MO
How exposed is Braymer to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Braymer lands at the 57th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 639 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Braymer's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 58th percentile nationally.
Where Braymer's buildings actually sit
Most of Braymer's buildings (69.3% of 639) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Braymer against the rest of the country
Braymer's risk sits at a similar level relative to Missouri (48th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (57th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Braymer ranks 13,491 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,341 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 551 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 57th national percentile, Braymer rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Braymer
With 69.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Braymer gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
